Techniques are now available and being developed for terrestrial power systems that have the capability of detecting low current high impedance arcing faults. These techniques have the potential for use in spacecraft power systems to increase reliability, safety and maintainability. A study of the application of these techniques is underway to verify the applicability and feasibility of incipient fault detection for spacecraft power systems. Results of recent research indicate that by incorporating these methods of incipient fault detection, along with the traditional methods, into the Space Station remote power controller (RPC), it will be possible to design a safer, more reliable, and easier to maintain power system.
