Preparation of pod-shaped TiO2 and Ag@TiO2 nano burst tubes and their photocatalytic activity.

abstract：:Arc faults in low-voltage electrical circuits are the main hidden cause of electric fires. Accurate identification of arc faults is essential for safe power consumption. In this paper, a detection algorithm for arc faults is tested in a low-voltage circuit. With capacitance coupling and a logarithmic detector, the hig...
