Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Systems which are in connectivity typically include an infrastructure comprised of mechanical framework and means for disconnecting, regulating, controlling, distributing, and modifying the conducted material. Electrical arc-faults in connectivity occur when the operating current exceeds normal bounds; such as caused by differences in expansion of the conduit and metal contacts, a manufacturing defect, or Ohmic heating caused by increased resistance of the conductor due to galvanic corrosion.
[0002] Electrical arc faults in electrical connectivity generate white hot plasma and intense heat. Arc faults can be caused, for example, by a manufacturing defect, overload, or thermal expansion and contraction at the joints by the thermodynamics of current on the conductor. There is a plethora of publically available documents such as, “American Electricians Handbook” by T. Croft, F. Hartwell, and W. Summers (which is included in its entirety by reference herei...
