Abstract
An arc mitigation apparatus includes an arc mitigation device and a solar cell. The arc mitigation device is configured to be mounted to a low-, medium-, or high-voltage switchgear. The arc mitigation device is configured to stop or limit current flow within at least one part of the low-, medium-, or high-switchgear when activated. The solar-cell is configured to be located within a compartment of the low-, medium-, or high-voltage switchgear. The solar-cell is configured to cause the arc mitigation device to activate due to radiation from an electrical arc of the switchgear impinging upon the solar-cell.
