Quantifying Photovoltaic Fire Danger Reduction with Arc-fault Circuit Interrupters
Unmitigated arc-faults present fire dangers, shock hazards, and cause system downtime in photovoltaic (PV) systems. The 2011 National Electrical Code® added section 690.11 to require a listed arc-fault protection device on new PV systems. Underwriters Laboratories created the outline of investigation for PV DC arc-fault circuit protection, UL 1699B, for certifying arc-fault circuit interrupters...
متن کاملA Redundant Fault Identification Algorithm with Exclusive-OR Circuit Reduction
Abstract−This paper describes a new redundant fault identification algorithm with Exclusive-OR circuit reduction. The experimental results using this algorithm with a FAN-based test pattern generation algorithm show nearly 100% fault coverage for complex arithmetic logic circuits. Moreover we achieved 99.99% fault coverage applying this algorithm with a weighted random pattern generator to the ...
متن کاملUsing Pv Module and Line Frequency Response Data to Create Robust Arc Fault Detectors
Photovoltaic (PV) systems have caused residential and commercial building fires when an electrical arc fault initiates in the conduction path. Article 690.11 in the United States 2011 National Electrical Code requires new photovoltaic systems on or penetrating a building to include a listed arc fault protection device to prevent additional fires. In response, manufacturers are creating arc faul...
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 کاملFault detection in photovoltaic systems
This master’s thesis concerns three different areas in the field of fault detection in photovoltaic systems. Previous studies have concerned homogeneous systems with a large set of parameters being observed, while this study is focused on a more restrictive case. The first problem is to discover immediate faults occurring in solar panels. A new online algorithm is developed based on similarity ...
