    摘要: A photovoltaic (PV) system includes a string of at least one PV module, and an arc fault detector (AFD) electrically coupled to the string. The AFD is configured to detect a non-DC electrical current that occurs within the string, and cause electrical contacts within the PV system to open as a result of the detected non-DC electrical current. The system includes a capacitor electrically coupled to the string and to the AFD such that the non-DC electrical current passes through the AFD and the capacitor.

    摘要: A direct current arc fault circuit interrupter includes separable contacts and a trip circuit to trip open the contacts. The trip circuit includes a number of alternating current sensors structured to sense a current flowing through the separable contacts, a number of filter circuits cooperating with the AC current sensors to output a number of AC signals, a number of peak detectors cooperating with the filter circuits to output a number of peak current signals, and a processor cooperating with at least the peak detectors. The processor inputs the number of peak current signals as a plurality of peak current signals or inputs the number of peak current signals and determines the plurality of peak current signals. The processor also determines if the peak current signals exceed corresponding predetermined thresholds for a predetermined time, and responsively causes the contacts to trip open.
