Robust Photovoltaic Arc Fault Detection Device

Abstract (German)

Due to the special PV module characteristic, faulty contacts or insulation defects can cause persistent arc faults. This represents a high risk of fire for the nearby environment. By developing a robust arc detection device, fire protection is increased and false alarms are minimized.
