System for preventing arc discharge generated during use of dc power supply

Abstract

When using DC power supplies, turning off switches and unplugging from sockets can result in arc discharge, and when arc discharge occurs, heat is generated, which can cause damage to contacts, wiring of disconnection points to melt, and fires. In order to solve this problem, an object is to prevent inrush current when connecting a power supply, detect arc discharge generated when disconnecting direct current, and stop arc discharge over a short period of time. All of the loads that are connected to a DC power supply are equipped with a soft-start function that gradually and smoothly increases current so as to prevent current from flowing suddenly when connected to a power supply, and if a sudden drop in the power supply voltage is detected, an arc discharge is deemed to have occurred, and the flow of current from the power supply to the load is cut off immediately.
