A Novel Arc Fault Detector for Early Detection of Electrical Fires
Arc faults can produce very high temperatures and can easily ignite combustible materials; thus, they represent one of the most important causes of electrical fires. The application of arc fault detection, as an emerging early fire detection technology, is required by the National Electrical Code to reduce the occurrence of electrical fires. However, the concealment, randomness and diversity of...
متن کاملArc Fault Detector
The subject of arc fault detection and circuit interruption has gained a lot of attention in recent years, particularly in the aviation industry. This is primarily due to a spate of in-flight fires which have been linked to faulty electrical systems and wiring on aircraft. Typical causes of faults are wiring chafing, dust build up and moisture [1][2]. Until recently, aircraft circuit breakers, ...
متن کاملSelection of a DC Solar PV Arc Fault Detector
1. Executive Summary Arc fault current interruption (AFCI) is required on DC conductors of solar PV installations by NEC 2011 (rooftop systems only) and NEC 2014 (rooftop and ground mount systems). To meet these requirements, combiner boxes for central inverters will need to include arc fault detectors (AFDs) as well as other AFCI equipment. UL recognized AFDs greatly ease the process of listin...
متن کاملArc Fault Detection Through Model Reference Estimation
In most arc fault circuit breakers, arc detection is accomplished through the signature analysis of remotely sensed branch currents, with high frequency spectral components being indicative of arcing. This paper presents an alternative approach based upon system identification. A model is assumed for the load on the distribution bus. This model is updated continuously by comparing measured volt...
متن کاملAircraft Electrical Monitoring & Fault Detection
Fault detection and electrical system monitoring (management) for aircraft/spacecraft dc or 400 Hz electrical systems is presented. Real-time ‘snapshot’ data is collected from current and voltage measurement transducers on radial or loop aircraft electrical system and introduced into a State Estimator. The State Estimator ‘smoothes’ the data, detects bad transducers, and calculates the best est...
