<![CDATA[Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) is a critical component in high-voltage power transmission systems, where partial discharge (PD) activity can indicate early-stage insulation defects. However, phase-resolved partial discharge (PRPD)-based fault diagnosis remains challenging due to noisy signals, perturbed measurement conditions, and severe class imbalance, particularly for rare floating-electrode defects. This study proposes an attention-driven contrastive learning framework for rare PD signal identification in GIS. PRPD data are represented as two-dimensional density matrices derived from phase angle, discharge magnitude, and occurrence count. The proposed framework applies PRPD-specific data augmentation, followed by ResUNet-based denoising, CBAM-based feature refinement, and supervised contrastive learning to improve feature separability among PD classes. The framework was evaluated using a public 550 kV GIS PRPD dataset containing corona-type, surface-type, floating-electrode-type, and noise classes. The results show that augmentation substantially improved robustness. When trained with raw data, the proposed model achieved 91.90% accuracy and 53.81% F1-score under the original test scenario, but decreased to 48.76% accuracy and 46.26% F1-score under IEC-perturbed testing. After augmentation, the model achieved 98.24% accuracy and 96.58% F1-score under the original scenario, and maintained 97.44% accuracy and 97.76% F1-score under IEC perturbation. These findings indicate that the proposed framework supports robust PRPD representation learning for GIS PD diagnosis under perturbed and imbalanced conditions.]]>
