A rapid detection device for multi-channel sporadic transient partial discharge, comprising a CPU and several partial discharge detection circuits. The partial discharge detection circuits are connected to a plurality of ports of the CPU one to one, respectively. First, a partial discharge pulse signal is filtered and amplified by means of a partial discharge pulse signal processing module in the partial discharge detection circuits, and is then inputted to a comparator, and a reference voltage passes through the CPU and is sent to a reference voltage processing module for amplification, filtering and other processing, and then is inputted to the comparator, so that the comparator processes same according to the partial discharge pulse signal and the reference voltage and then inputs same to a trigger. Finally, according to a level signal at an output terminal of the trigger, the CPU determines whether partial discharge occurs in a circuit to be detected. The detection device of the present application is simple in structure and low-cost. Moreover, the detection device may continuously and quickly detect sporadic transient partial discharge signals without missing detection, thereby solving the technical problems in the prior art of easily missed detection and high costs.

Method and system allowing more accurate detection and identification of unwanted arcing include novel processing of signal voltage representing recovered power-line current. In one implementation, arc-faults are detected based on numerical analysis where individual cycles of line voltage and current are observed and data collected during each cycle is processed to estimate likelihood of presence of arc-event within each individual cycle based on pre-defined number of arc-events occurring within pre-defined number of contiguous cycles. In another implementation, fast transient current spikes detection can be done by: computing difference values between consecutive line-current samples collected over a cycle, average of differences, and peak-to-peak value of line-current; comparing each difference value to average of difference; comparing each difference value to peak-to-peak value; and, based on calculation of composite of two comparisons, using thresholds to determine if arcing is present within processed cycle.

A voltage source applies a voltage between two nodes of an object to be measured, the two nodes being insulated from each other.
