Arcing is currently one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
most common causes <strong>of</strong> electrical<br />
fires. New electrical codes require<br />
the installation <strong>of</strong> arc fault circuit<br />
interrupters in new construction.<br />
As a result, there is an emerging<br />
market for AFCIs. Our system<br />
uses a digital signal processor<br />
(DSP) to detect arc fault<br />
conditions. <strong>The</strong> system is capable<br />
<strong>of</strong> distinguishing two major types<br />
<strong>of</strong> arcs: series arcs and parallel<br />
arcs. This system was developed<br />
using Texas Instruments’ components, and will be displayed at trade shows to<br />
demonstrate the capabilities <strong>of</strong> said components.
