Design of low voltage arcing identification based on wavelet transform

Electricity is one of the most importance energy for daily life. Therefore electricity demand of low voltage electric power is increasing every year. On the other hand, the potential hazard of not proper installation in low voltage can lead to several problems. One of them is an arcing during short circuit which would lead to fire. This paper is propose a design of low voltage arcing identification equipment based on wavelet. The success in detecting arcing could be an effort to prevent the fire. The proposed algorithm is use wavelet transform as signal processing technique. This algorithm is expected to be a sensitive detector for arcing current at low voltage level which can cause of fire.
