The invention relates to a method for judging a
direct current arc fault based on a real-time measured multi-band frequency component rate. Along with the large-scale application of photovoltaic generation, and particularly the wide application of a photovoltaic solar panel to the roof and the external wall of a building, fires caused by a photovoltaic generation
system happen in many places. Through analysis, people find that the fires are basically caused by the
direct current arc fault of the photovoltaic generation
system, and therefore, detecting and isolating the
direct current arc fault for causing equipment damage and fire hidden danger become problems needed to be solved, however, due to the specificity of the direct current arc fault of the photovoltaic generation
system, the conventional fault waveform based arc fault detection principle is not suitable for the direct current arc fault of the photovoltaic generation system. The method has the core thought that the overlarge energy is contained in the arc to cause the fire damage caused on the basis of the fault arc, and by using a method for detecting the
energy source ratio of the
frequency spectrum component energy of multiple bands in a
voltage and current waveform to the total spectrum, the direct current arc faults possibly causing fires can be rapidly and reliably detected without being affected by other noises in the system, and the safety of the photovoltaic generation system is ensured.
