Abstract

Systems and methods for early detection of electrical arcs or electrical component failures in enclosed modules are provided. A system (100, 200) for detecting electrical component failures or electrical arcs includes: an enclosed module (102, 202) including electrical components (110); a light sensor (118, 218A) in the enclosed module (102, 202) detecting light emitted within the enclosed module (102, 202); and a control circuit (122, 222) operatively coupled to the light sensor (118, 218A), the control circuit (122, 222) triggering a predetermined action upon detection of light in excess of a predetermined light threshold level or detection of predetermined light activity by the light sensor (118, 218A). The predetermined action may include triggering an alert and/or a switch (120, 220) addressing the detection of a possible electrical discharge in the enclosed module (102, 202).
