An arc-fault is an electrical discharge between two conductors due to poor contact. These discharges cause sparks that can reach temperatures as high as 1000 degrees Celsius, making them one of the major causes of electrical fires. In the United States, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that 50 to 75 percent of all electrical home fires are a result of arc faults. Arcing can occur even in home appliances that operate at lower voltage levels making the swift detection of an arc-fault is essential for improving electrical fire safety.

Southwest Research Institute has developed a natural-gas-fueled medium-duty truck outfitted with a hybrid powertrain that achieved a 25% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) over standard diesel powertrains. The vehicle uses an SwRI-designed, spark-ignited natural gas engine coupled with a hybrid powertrain and a 40-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
