4.3.1 Arc Testing Setup

For arc testing, follow connections from Figure 4-1.

Additional equipment used for arc testing:

  • Arc generator as defined in UL1699
  • 12AWG wire
  • Resistive loads for rated power
  • Nema 5-15p plugs

The data collection or arc detection software and user guides are both available on MSPM0 SDK.
