ARC DETECTION SYSTEM, ARC DETECTION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18249475 titled 'ARC DETECTION SYSTEM, ARC DETECTION METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an arc detection system that can determine if an arc fault has occurred in a power line.

  • The system includes a first obtainment unit that measures the current or voltage in the power line.
  • A second obtainment unit gathers information about the operation of a device connected to the power line.
  • A determination unit analyzes the measurement result from the first obtainment unit and the operation information from the second obtainment unit to determine if an arc fault has occurred.


Original Abstract Submitted

An arc detection system includes a first obtainment unit, a second obtainment unit, and a determination unit. The first obtainment unit obtains a measurement result of current flowing in a power line to which power is supplied from a power supply or a measurement result of voltage in the power line. The second obtainment unit obtains operation information about operation of a device connected to the power line. The determination unit determines whether or not an arc fault has occurred in the power line based on the measurement result obtained by the first obtainment unit and the operation information obtained by the second obtainment unit.
