Abstract— Arc flash (AF) protection is very important for all power and process industries to maintain the safety of equipment and personnel at the workplace. This describes causes and characteristics of AF faults and gives an overview of existing AF protection methods. This proposes design and development of a microcontroller based AF protection system which utilizes physical characteristics‚ viz. unique signature of the light‚ current and pressurized sound signals during AF within tap changer/switchgear
