Abstract
- Owing to the shortcomings of existing series arc fault detection methods, based on a summary of arc volt–ampere characteristics, the change rule of the line current and the relationship between the voltage and current are deeply analyzed and theoretically explained under different loads when series arc faults occur. A series arc fault detection method is proposed, and the software flowchart and principles of the applied hardware implementation are given. Finally, a prototype of an arc fault detection device (AFDD) with a rated voltage of 220 V and a rated current of 40 A is developed. The prototype was tested according to experimental methods provided by the Chinese national standard, GB/T 31143-2014. The experimental results show that the proposed detection method is simple and practical, and can be implemented using a low-cost microprocessor. The proposed method will provide good theoretical guidance in promoting the research and development of an AFDD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
