Therefore, the development of effective arc detection methods and standards is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of PV systems [11, 12].

Arc generator used in the experiment. In the experiment, the current data is collected by the mangano-copper shunt connected in series in the photovoltaic circuit, the voltage at both ends of the shunt is measured, and the waveform data is converted by A/D after the signal conditioning circuit is transformed. This is shown in Figure 3. Figure 3.
DC arcs are characterized by high temperature, intense heat, and short duration, and they lack zero crossing or periodicity features. Detecting DC fault arcs in intricate photovoltaic systems is challenging. Hence, researching DC fault arcs in photovoltaic systems is of crucial significance.
The unique operating point behavior of arc faults in PV systems is discussed and new current demodulation algorithm is proposed to filter the current waveform of other external noise without a priori knowledge of the PV system.
The presence of series arc faults will inject extra impedance in the PV system, which can cause mismatch loss, heating loss, and decreasing fill factor. Thus, it effectively decreased the efficiency of PV system.
The undetected grounding faults will then be contributed to parallel arc faults, but it is better to prevent them by improving the detection and protection of grounding faults. Therefore, the relevant standards and codes are mainly focused on series arc fault detection and protection in PV systems.
