Abstract：Arc fault detection device is a newly developed protector which can detect fault arc and cut off the failure circuit. Ensuring the reliability of its operation is an important issue in the production and application. The relevant domestic and foreign standards are introduced to study the action characteristic verification tests of arc fault detection device. Comparison analysis has been put on the differences between the standard UL 1699—2017 and national standard GB/T 31143—2014 in product definition, scope of application and functional requirements of products. The experimental content of arc fault detection and the technical requirements of arc fault simulation device are analyzed emphatically that would lay a foundation for the experimental studies of arc fault and the design of arc fault detection equipment.
