Due to the numerous wires on the DC side of the PV system, arc faults are more likely to occur. The figure illustrates the different types of arc faults that can occur within photovoltaic systems.
What is Arc Fault in Solar Systems and how to deal with it ? Check out some of the other great posts in this blog. An arc fault in a solar system occurs when an electrical current jumps across a gap between two conductive surfaces, creating a brief but intense burst of heat and light.
The arc damages conductors, increases contact resistance, and can reignite intermittently. AC zero crossings self-extinguish many arcs. DC has no zero crossing, so arcs can persist. PV arrays also produce limited short-circuit current. That narrows the detectable current swing during arcing compared with grid faults.
Most PV DC arc faults are series arcs across a high-resistance gap. Parallel arcs occur between conductors or to ground. Series arcs often show wideband current noise, typically concentrated between 1 kHz and 100 kHz, superimposed on the DC string current. Arc power can range from a few hundred watts into the kilowatt range in high-current strings.
