dc.description.abstract | Electric arcs cause fires. The ability to detect an electric arc successfully, reliably, and quickly enables mitigation of arc-induced fires before they start. Within photovoltaic systems, in particular, the detection of an arc poses a significant engineering challenge. To date, arc detecting technologies frequently encounter trouble distinguishing between actual arc-fault scenarios and electrical noise from opening contactors, or power electronics such as the solar inverter or DC/DC optimizer. This paper seeks to investigate the efficacy of a new method for arc-fault detection. | en |
