Abstract
An arc detector for detecting electrical arcs across a break in a line carrying a current in an electrical system. Normally, the line carries current, but when the line is broken, current doesn't flow until an arc occurs across the break. The arc detector detects the break using a current sensor for measuring the current, a filter for filtering out unwanted frequencies, an amplifier for amplifying the remaining frequencies into a substantially square wave, a counter for counting square wave transitions, and a latch to hold a detection signal at an output node when the counter counts a preset number of square wave transitions without being reset by a reset switch or a periodic oscillator.
