“…Several mathematical models have been used for describing the arcs. Many models are used for circuit breaker arcs [16,17] and several of these models have been applied to long arcs or arcing faults [18,19]. The most popular rules depend on thermal equilibrium.…”

In power distribution networks, there are many practical fault cases such as high impedance faults, faults and so on. Especially when the faults with electric arc persist, it is dangerous for human beings and circumstances. Nevertheless, it is difficult to classify faults due to various customer load conditions or the presence of distributed energy resources. In this paper, we propose a new mathematical arc model based on experimental event data. For implementing the arc phenomenon, wet gravel was used as a contact conductor after the fault. The experimental results validate the arc transient model. Then, the simulations were performed to verify the success of arc modeling using Kizilcay’s arc model as a comparison method. Finally, we developed a fault detector using the kurtosis detection method, and power system simulations were conducted to evaluate fault detection performance using Matlab/Simulink.

“…The physics-based arc model is also called the arc black box model, which is derived from the principle of energy balance. It has been widely used in simulation or calculation of arc-containing circuits, such as circuit breaker [43][44][45], railway traction system [46], and aircraft power system [47]. The Cassie [48] and Mayr [49] arc models are the most classic black box arc models and are suitable for the simulation of large current and small current arcs, respectively.…”

Despite the rapid development of photovoltaic (PV) industry, direct current (DC) fault arc remains a major threat to the safety of PV system and personnel. While extensive research on DC fault arc has been conducted, little attention has been paid to the long-time interactions between the PV system and DC arc. In this paper, a simulation system with an arc model and PV system model is built to overcome the inconvenience of the fault-arc experiments and understand the mechanism of these interactions. For this purpose, the characteristics of the series DC arc in a small grid-connected PV system are first investigated under uniform irradiance. Then, by comparing with different arc models, the Habedank model is selected to simulate the fault arc and a method to determine its parameters under DC arc condition is proposed. The trends of simulated arc waveforms are consistent with the measured data, whose fitting degree in adjusted R-squared is between 0.946 and 0.956. Finally, a phenomenon observed during the experiment, that the negative perturbation of the maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm can reduce the arc current, is explained by the proposed model.

Small model interrupters are convenient to investigate interrupting performance of high-voltage gas circuit breakers in terms of efficiency. However, the equivalence of interruption phenomena of small model interrupters (e.g., interrupting performance, interruption criteria, and geometric sensitivity) to product-scale interrupters has not been clarified. Interrupting tests with small and large model interrupters were carried out with the dimensions of the interrupter as parameters to clarify the effects of modified interrupter dimensions on blast pressure and interrupting performance. Arc voltage and arc conductance were measured to acquire detailed electrical behavior in the thermal interrupting phase. In the results, small model interrupters showed the same performance trends as geometrically modified large model interrupters. By introducing an interrupter size factor, the boundary of the extinction peak of the arc voltage and arc conductance at 200 ns before current zero that distinguishes the success and failure of interruption for both small and large models agreed well. Moreover, the arc parameters determined by Cassie and Mayr arc models were analyzed with consideration to interrupter size factor. In conclusion, the interrupter size factor was validated from the point of arc phenomena and an equivalence of small model to product-scale interrupter was confirmed.
