ARC is a physical phenomenon of charge energy release. Since many factors cause the release of arc energy, there is no test specification listed in international safety standards like the Hipot test. In 1990, Ikonix took the lead in the industry and introduce ARC detection to help our customers to screen out possible defective products during the production process and assure consistent quality and safety applied to each product made. Reputable brands all rely on our ARC detection function.
