Abstract

In this study, we experimented a deterioration characteristics by series arcing with 600V polyvinyl chloride insulation wire and analyzed the glowing/growing process of copper oxide, waveforms of contact voltage, current, power dissipation and carbonized patterns of insulation. We know that how glowing contacts and surface arcing can decompose PVC insulation and that it is possible for the subsequent series arc to ignite, and burn insulation. We expect that these results are useful for advancing the state-of-the-art in fire protection by Providing a better understanding of how electrical fires can initiate.
