Arc generating apparatus for AFCI test and test system using arbitrary waveform generator

摘要

The present invention relates to an arc generator used for testing an arc-fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) and a test system implementing the arc generator as an arbitrary waveform generator. One feature of the present invention is to generate an arc waveform of low current instead of high current for AFCI test, and adjust the magnitude and frequency of the generated arc waveform to accurately model the arc waveform for the test and apply it to the input detection part of the AFCI. , An arc generator for AFCI testing, and another feature of the present invention is to use the arbitrary waveform generator, which is a general-purpose measuring instrument, without using a separate arc generator and a load device. Arbitrary waveform generator for AFCI test that can automatically check the electrical characteristics of AFCI by changing the magnitude and frequency of arc waveform by controlling the output of arc waveform output from arbitrary waveform generator after input and controlling by PC It relates to a test system using.
