Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to systems and methods for rapid fault neutralization. An apparatus for managing an electrical fault in an electrical system can include a bridging member configured to establish a conductive pathway between contact points that are at differing electrical phase potentials within the electrical system. The apparatus can include a propulsion system configured to cause movement of the bridging member towards the contact points in response to the electrical fault in the electrical system, thereby initiating the conductive pathway. In this way, the apparatus responds to the electrical fault by initiating a controlled electrical arc through the conductive pathway.
