The invention provides an improved system for the detection of arc faults specifically a portable battery powered interactive electrical arc detection instrument that is both responsible for and responsive to the elicitation of electrical arcs caused by mechanical vibrations being impinged upon electrical apparatus and its support structure thereby influencing the associated wiring of the said apparatus. This is accomplished by a procedure the present inventor calls the bang test utilized by one embodiment of the present invention, specifically the embodiment with the said hammer shaped member, whereby mechanical vibrations are transferred to electrical conductors associated by proximity with the said electrical apparatus. The said bang test provides said mechanical vibrations of various intensities that are impinged upon the wiring of said apparatus in order to elicit arc responses from loose or shorting electrical conductors that supply current to a load. The elicited response would be an arc produced when the said conductors make and break a flaw of electrons as a result of the influence of the mechanical vibrations. The said invention utilizes electronic circuitry to amplify and shape an arcs electromagnetic characteristics, The said arcs characteristics are picked up by an antenna that is in close proximity to a point of impact between a hammer like portion of the present invention and electrical apparatus. The antenna is placed inside the said hammer shaped member of one embodiment of the present invention that when used as a hammer serves as the source of the mechanical vibrations. A response from the present inventions electronics to the presence of an electric arc is given in the form of visual and auditory stimulus. The described invention and method of usage provides a basis for an electrical troubleshooting system that also offers preventative maintenance of various alternating current and direct current electrical systems. Also offered, as an alternative to the bang test is the use of a vibrator, which serves as the source of the said mechanical vibrations and as an antenna.
