Abstract

An apparatus and method for detecting arc faults in a circuit having a switch (), including a leakage current management device (), an arc fault detector () arranged to monitor output voltage and to send a signal representative of the output voltage, and a controller () coupled to the arc fault detector (). The controller () is configured to monitor the output voltage signal, compare the output to a threshold, and if the output exceeds the threshold, provide an arc fault indication.
