Abstract
An arc detection assembly is provided and includes a first conductor comprising a first terminal end, a second conductor comprising a second terminal end, an enclosure to partially enclose a space in which the first and second terminal ends are engageable to form an electrical connection and an optical detection system. The optical detection system includes an optical element within the enclosure with a line-of-sight to an engagement of the first and second terminal ends and a sensor. The sensor is displaced from the enclosure and coupled to the optical element. The sensor is configured to determine when the optical element senses an arcing condition between the first and second terminal ends.
