If these dangerous arc faults keep occurring for days,
months even years, they exert thermal stresses the
surrounding material, which cause changes and,
in the worst-case scenario, can lead devastating fires. they unnoticed, they can become fire
risk the electrical installation. They not present any hazard.

Electric arcs can occur for operational reasons when opening or
closing mechanical contacts.
Arc faults can caused even minor damage insulation defects
on conducting lines. Parallel arc faults are detected by
miniature circuit-breakers and residual current circuit-breakers,
while serial arc faults can unnoticed AFD unit present
