Abstract
High-Impedance Faults (HIFs) in DC systems are challenging to detect as they might not trip the over-current protections, instead being perceived as load increments. These HIFs are produced by low-conductivity elements, such as tree branches, touching the live conductors. Active loads, common in DC systems, have a characteristic negative incremental behavior that can be detrimental to stability but can give insight to differentiate faults from load increments. In this paper, an active fault detection method for HIFs in DC systems is presented. The proposed method is built into the source power converter using a digital Lock-In Amplifier (LIA). It identifies a qualitative difference between faults and load increments, and does so with a minimal signal injection in the system due to the high sensitivity of the LIA. Simulations of the proposed method for challenging scenarios are presented. Validation of the proposed technique is extended by implementing the algorithm using a standard microcontroller.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
