Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes measuring, by a first local controller connected to a first converter, one or more characteristics of the first converter. The first converter belongs to a set of two or more converters in a power system configured to power equipment, and each of the two or more converters is connected to a respective local controller. An arc fault is detected based at least in part on the one or more characteristics of the first converter, and an indication of the arc fault is communicated to the central controller. The arc fault is remediated by performing one or more remedial operations determined by at least one of the first local controller and the central controller.
