An arcing fault detector is set up to identify arcing faults and to distinguish them from other disturbances in a circuit. A plurality of electrical conditions are monitored and the conditions are tested against predetermined parameters for establishing a series of logical conditions relating to the presence of an arcing fault. A logic circuit combines the logical conditions for deciding on the presence of an arcing fault. An output signal of the logic circuit is used to activate a relay for interrupting the supply of electrical power to the circuit.
