The Possibilities to Reduce Arc Flash Exposure with Arc Fault Eliminators

This paper presents a method to limit the arc energy and hence the hazard risk category value according to IEEE 1584 by using a system of two oppositely connected multi-sectional thyristor branches. A test circuit for testing the effectiveness of a thyristor arc eliminator was designed and construct...
