“…The longer a fault lasts and the larger power it supports, the more heat is generated, and the larger its chance of causing a fire or other damage. Methods for reducing the hazard due to arc faults such as arc fault circuit interrupters [ 72 ] and rapid shutdown systems [ 73 ] most often focus on detecting the intermittent changes in voltage and/or current and shutting the system down quickly. Location of the fault is generally not available with these methods, thus impeding the maintenance inspections that follow.…”

Sequence time-domain reflectometry (STDR) and spread spectrum time-domain reflectometry (SSTDR) detect, locate, and diagnose faults in live (energized) electrical systems. In this paper, we survey the present SSTDR literature for discussions on theory, algorithms used in its analysis, and its more prominent implementations and applications. Our review includes both scientific litera-ture and selected patents. We also discuss future applications of SSTDR.

In this paper, we studied on the detection of series arcing which is a main cause of electrical fires in low-voltage indoor wiring system. To distinguish series arcing state from normal one, we proposed a detection method based on that the magnitude of arc voltage included in AC voltage varies at random during series arcing. We designed and fabricated a highpass filter with the low cut-off frequency of 3kHz to attenuate AC voltage by -80dB or below, and to pass arc voltage without distortion. Also, a phase shift algorithm which eliminates the periodic component of arc voltage was used for nonlinear loads like incandescent lamps controlled by a dimmer.
