Abstract
An arc detector antenna transducer (62) for an electric circuit has an electrified conductor (46) connecting a voltage source (26) to a load (30). The arc detector transducer includes an E field sensor (66) sensing the E field established about the conductor by the occurrence of an electrical arc in the circuit, and a B field sensor (68) sensing the B field established about the conductor by the occurrence of the electrical arc in the circuit.
