Arc faults in low-voltage electrical circuits are the main hidden cause of electric fires. Accurate identification of arc faults is essential for safe power consumption. In this paper, a detection algorithm for arc faults is tested in a low-voltage circuit. With capacitance coupling and a logarithmic detector, the high-frequency radiation characteristics of arc faults can be extracted. A rapid method for computing the current waveform slope characteristics of an arc fault provides another charac ...[more]
