Abstract An arc fault detection system for household

photovoltaic inverter according to the DC bus currents was
discussed in the paper. A current transformer was employed to
capture currents of the DC bus. The detected signals were filtered
by a band-pass filter to derive the meaningful waves.
TMS320F28062 DSP was selected as the master chip. It
accomplished the fast Fourier transform in chip and gave the
pattern recognition for the frequency spectrum of the arc. It will
disconnect the inverter from the DC bus when an arc fault is
diagnosed. The proposed system has been successfully applied to
detect the arc fault of the household photovoltaic inverter reliably.
