The Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter——A New Low Voltage Protection Apparatus

Degui Chen

Abstract

A new low voltage protection apparatus——the arc-fault circuit interrupter was put forward to avoid fire by fault arc. The work principle, application field and development trend of this circuit interrupter were introduced. It was pointed out that the advantages of this circuit interrupter are bigger detection range comparing with over current protection device and no earthing comparing with residual current protection device.
