In the not-so-distant past, electrical workers routinely racked out breakers in the normal course of their jobs. They did this with little concern or knowledge of the hazards to which they were ...

An arc flash is a sudden discharge of energy, connecting a component with the ground or another voltage phase in the same system through the air. This discharge can result from loose connections, ...

A quick response to arc faults is essential. However, a lot of available protection equipment is prone to registering accidental trips rather than faults, as well as responding too slowly or ...

Arc fault detection is a critical issue in modern power and photovoltaic (PV) systems owing to the significant safety risks posed by unintended electrical discharges. These faults, occurring when ...

The comparison figure between no arc-fault state and arc-fault state under various type of loads, ranging from 30 W–60 W. An arc fault is an electrical discharge between two conductors due to poor ...
