[0024] In the embodiment of the present application, in relation to the problem of the lack of arc generating devices capable of accurately controlling the moving distance and speed of electrodes in the prior art, the present application provides a solution that meets the UL 1699B standard, specifically comprising: a parameter acquisition module 1, a servo driver 2, a servo motor 3, a screw transmission structure 4 and an electrode 5; the output end of the parameter acquisition module 1 is connected to the input end of the servo driver 2, the parameter acquisition module 1 receives control parameters and sends the control parameters to the servo driver 2; the output end of the servo driver 2 is connected to the input end of the servo motor 3, the servo driver 2 drives the servo motor 3 to rotate according to the control parameters; the output end of the servo motor 3 is connected to one end of the screw transmission structure 4, the other end of the screw transmission structure 4 is connected to the electrode 5, the servo motor 3 drives the electrode 5 to move in a straight line through the screw transmission structure 4; the electrode 5 is connected to the photovoltaic device to be tested. The arc generating device of the utility model can accurately control the moving distance and speed of the electrode 5.

[0025] Next, an arc generating device for an arc test in each exemplary embodiment of the present application will be further described.

[0026] It should be noted that the parameter acquisition module 1 can set the breaking distance and breaking speed. After setting the breaking distance and breaking speed, the arc generating device can automatically separate the electrode 5 to generate an arc according to the preset. The control parameters are input from the parameter acquisition module 1, and the control parameters reach the servo driver 2 through communication. The servo driver 2 calculates the signal required to control the servo motor 3 according to the set program.

[0027] In one embodiment of the present application, the electrode 5 includes a positive electrode and a negative electrode.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present application, the electrode 5 is provided with a terminal. Specifically, the terminals at both ends of the electrode 5 are respectively connected to the DC circuit of the photovoltaic inverter as required.

[0038] 3. Set the zero position when the two motors are in close contact.

[0039] 4. According to the test requirements, set the number of pulses and pulse frequency emitted by the servo controller through the key screen.

[0040] 5. After setting, start the photovoltaic equipment under test and operate it at the working voltage and current required by the standard test.

[0041] 6. Start the arc generating device, and separate the two electrodes 5 by a specified distance at a specified speed.

[0042] 7. The DC arc detection device in the photovoltaic system should detect the arc at both ends of the electrode 5 and give an alarm or cut off the circuit.

[0043] 8. Read the results from the oscilloscope. The test is considered qualified when the arc generation time does not exceed 2.5s and the energy does not exceed 750J.
