Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of power equipment, in particular an insulating isolation assembly for an arc fault detection module. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to an arc fault detection module using such an insulating isolation assembly.
  • an arc fault detection module can detect the arc fault, and trigger a circuit breaker to cut off a power supply, thereby protecting the electrical device and personal safety.
  • An existing circuit fault protection apparatus comprises a housing, a detection circuit located in the housing, and a terminal electrically connected to the detection circuit. There may be one terminal or multiple terminals, with each terminal being connected to one phase of a circuit breaker. In the case of multiple terminals, the terminals must be isolated from one another using insulating isolation members. If the detection circuit detects an arc fault, the detection circuit will, via the terminal, trigger the circuit breaker to cut off a power supply.
