An arc fault detection device for detecting an arc fault in an electric line includes a first terminal and a second terminal for connecting the arc fault detection device to a conductor of the electric line. A sensor is adapted for generating a sensor signal from a current through the electric line; and a controller is adapted for detecting the arc fault from the sensor signal. The sensor includes an inductor connected to the first terminal and the second terminal and a capacitor connected in parallel with the inductor. The inductor and the capacitor form a resonant circuit with a resonance frequency, the resonance frequency determining an impedance behavior of the resonant circuit; wherein the inductor and the capacitor are chosen such that the impedance behavior of the resonant circuit corresponds to a desired impedance behavior over a relevant frequency range of the current through the electric line.

A detection device has a detecting port, a leakage port, an oscillation circuit and a detection circuit. The detecting port is used for pluggably coupled to an object. The leakage port is electrically coupled to a ground loop. The oscillation circuit is respectively coupled to the detecting port and the leakage port, and used for generating an oscillation signal. When the detecting port is coupled to the object, electrons on the object are transferred to the leakage port via the oscillation circuit. The detection circuit is used for determining whether the detecting port is coupled to the object based on the oscillation characteristic of the oscillation signal.

Various embodiments described herein use a set of capacitor sets (e.g., capacitor banks) in a power backup architecture for a memory sub-system, where each capacitor set can be individually checked for a health condition (e.g., in parallel) to determine their respective health after the memory sub-system has completed a boot process. In response to determining that at least one capacitor set has failed the health condition (or a certain number of capacitor sets have failed the health condition), the memory sub-system can perform certain operations prior to primary power loss to the memory sub-system (e.g., preemptively performs a data backup process to ensure data integrity) and can adjust the operational mode of the memory sub-system (e.g., switch it from read-write mode to read-only mode).
