Abstract :
Arc faults in photo-voltaic (Pv) systems are dangerous events and can create huge damage. In order to decrease the number of these events, arc fault detectors are used. The advantages of the here presented detection algorithm are the relatively low computational demand and the ability to work with most standard analog-digital converter (Adc) contained in micro controllers.
