Patent ID: 10998707

Abstract:
The invention relates to a detection device (100) for detecting an arc (104a-i; 909) occurring between a first current-carrying element (103; 903a) and at least one conductive element (103b, 108; 903b, 907), comprising at least one measuring device (101; 901, 902), which is designed to measure a current (I) flowing through the first current-carrying element (103a; 903a), and an analysis device (102) which is designed to determine a frequency spectrum of the measured current (I) and to detect the arc (104a-i; 909) occurring between the first current-carrying element (103a; 903a) and the at least one conductive element (103b, 108; 903b, 907) on the basis of a high-frequency range of the determined frequency spectrum.
