Overview
Description
An arc fault circuit interrupter (AFCI) prevents fires by detecting unintended arcs created by current flowing through an unplanned path. This system provides a design for residential AFCI circuit breakers. It monitors line currents at 100KHz looking for noise characteristics known to be associated with arcing. The Wi-Fi module is used to integrate with any smart home system.
System Benefits:
- Wi-Fi function supported for a new generation of smart breakers
- Reality AI software running on MCU will help the customers deliver endpoint intelligence:
- 8ms observation window: >=99.2% accuracy in arc detection
- 16ms observation window: >= 99.7% accuracy in arc detection
