Abstract: Arc fault is an important cause of electric fire hazard.The generating mechanism and features for arc fault were analyzed in this paper.And a comprehensive review was carried out for both arc fault detection methods and AFCI standards.It concluded that the main issue for arc fault detection was the unwanted tripping.Finally,the future developing trends for arc fault detection technology were discussed,which includes multi-information fusion recognition,self-adaptive protection methods and DC arc fault protection method.

Key words: arc fault detection, arc fault detection device, electric fire, mechanism, fault features
