An arcing fault detector is set up to identify arcing faults and to distinguish them from other disturbances in a circuit. A plurality of electrical conditions are monitored (16, 18) and the conditions are tested against predetermined parameters for establishing a series of logical conditions relating to the presence of an arcing fault. A logic circuit (30, 34, 36, 38, 40, 46) combines the logical conditions for deciding on the presence of an arcing fault. An output signal of the logic circuit (P) is used to activate a relay (52) for interrupting the supply of electrical power to the circuit.

Détecteur de défauts d'amorçage d'arc destiné à identifier des défauts d'amorçage d'arc et à les distinguer d'autres perturbations se produisant dans un circuit. Une pluralité de conditions électriques sont contrôlées (16, 18) et les conditions sont testées par rapport à des paramètres prédéterminés afin d'établir une série de conditions logiques relatives à la présence d'un défaut d'amorçage d'arc. Un circuit logique (30, 34, 36, 38, 40, 46) combine les conditions logiques afin de décider de la présence d'un défaut d'amorçage d'arc. Un signal de sortie du circuit logique (P) sert à activer un relais (52) destiné à interrompre l'alimentation en courant électrique du circuit.
