    Abstract: In accordance with one aspect the present disclosure is directed toward a method for detecting arc faults on a power line. The method may include monitoring power signals associated with a power line and filtering the power signals to produce a high frequency signal and a low frequency signal. A mask signal may generated based on the low frequency signal, and the high frequency signal may be analyzed to extract a broadband portion of the high frequency signal. A fault counter may be incremented if the magnitude of the broadband portion is approximately greater than a first threshold level. A fault counter may be decremented if the magnitude of the broadband portion is approximately less than the first threshold level. A trip signal is provided to a switching device associated with the power line if the fault counter exceeds a predetermined fault limit.

    Abstract: A current transformer assembly comprises a toroidal core and a conductor having a body portion and a mounting portion. The conductor's body portion extends through the aperture of the toroidal core. The mounting portion is positioned for a mechanical and electrical connection between an external conductor and the current transformer. A connection is made between the body portion and the mounting portion wherein mechanical engagement is sufficient to prevent unintended separation of the body portion from the mounting portion and electrical coupling is sufficient to permit the flow of current between the body portion and the mounting portion.
