When producing arc-over between a pair of target 41a, the 41b, at first, fall to the output voltage of a pair of target 41a, 41b, then, outward current increases rapidly.At this moment, the grid current signal is kept original " 1 " (on-state), has only voltage pulse signal to become " 0 " (off-state) (with reference to Fig. 3 (b)).Promptly in detecting arc-over, judge at volts lost testing circuit 85 whether the grid current signal is " 0 ", and when the grid current signal was " 0 ", the grid current signal was in off-state.Then, when the grid current signal is " 1 ", enter voltage pulse decline waiting status, at this moment, judge whether voltage pulse signal is " 1 ", then be judged as normal glow discharge for " 1 " as voltage pulse signal.Subsequently, when the grid current signal became " 0 ", voltage pulse signal became " 0 ", and the grid current signal recovers off-state.
Conversely, be the voltage pulse decline waiting status of " 1 " at the grid current signal, volts lost when becoming " 0 ", voltage pulse signal takes place, judges to have produced arc-over (with reference to Fig. 3 (d)).At this moment, can detect, therefore can detect the generation (with reference to Fig. 3 (e)) of arc-over rapidly owing to 1 pulse of high-speed clock signal or the volts lost of 2 pulse delays.
When detecting arc-over by electric arc detecting device 8, second cpu circuit 71 that outputs to arc-over, control signal with for example second cpu circuit 71 is passed through the second driving circuit 73a, the control vibration is cut off the output to a pair of target 41a, 41b with each switching transistor 72a, 72b of switch circuit 72, the action of 72c, 72d.
In view of the above, can directly detect the generation of arc-over by length to volts lost time of the output voltage waveforms of a pair of target 41a, 41b, with variation by current value between target 41a, 41b and calculate to the virtual value of the output voltage of target 41a, 41b and compare, can detect arc-over rapidly and cut off the output of AC power E with the method for average detection arc-over.Thus, the energy in the time of can reducing arc-over also effectively prevents the generation of particulate and splash etc., and, can when flowing, outward current detect the generation of volts lost, and for example can reduce the flase drop of arc-over and survey.
With reference to Fig. 4 (a) to Fig. 4 (e), 80 electric arc detecting devices that relate to for another embodiment.This electric arc detecting device 80 is the proofing unit that only detects arc-over from output voltage, has: voltage transformation amplifier 810, and it carries out amplification to the output voltage that comes self-detection circuit 77a; Absolute value testing circuit 820, it detects the absolute value through the output voltage waveforms of voltage transformation amplifier 810 amplification.In addition, electric arc detecting device 80 has: voltage pulse generation circuit 830, and it has the absolute value of importing respectively from absolute value testing circuit 820, with the comparer 830a of voltage pulse detection level; Input detects gating producer 841 from the volts lost testing circuit 840 and the pulse width of the voltage pulse signal of voltage pulse generation circuit 830.

Promptly in detecting arc-over, by volts lost testing circuit 840, when gate voltage signal was " 0 ", gate voltage signal was in off-state.Then, when gate voltage signal is " 1 ", enter voltage pulse signal decline waiting status, at this moment, judge whether voltage pulse signal is " 1 ", for " 1 " then is judged as normal glow discharge takes place in this state as voltage pulse signal.Subsequently, when gate voltage signal became " 0 ", voltage pulse signal also became " 0 ", and gate voltage signal is recovered off-state.
Conversely, in voltage pulse signal decline waiting status, volts lost taking place when voltage pulse signal becomes " 0 ", then judges to have produced arc-over (with reference to Fig. 4 (d)).At this moment, can detect, therefore can detect the generation (with reference to Fig. 4 (e)) of arc-over rapidly because of 1 pulse of high-speed clock signal or the volts lost of 2 pulse delays.
