12 ABSTRACT A system 10 for detecting arcing between two electrical conductors 20, 22 includes an image capture arrangement 12 comprising a plurality of image capture devices 14, 16 configured to be arranged in spaced relationship relative to one another and to a contact region 26 between the electrical conductors 20, 22 so as to provide depth information. A processor 28 is responsive to the image capture arrangement 12 for computing a depth range 30 of the contact region 26 between the electrical conductors 20, 22 relative to a first image capture device 14 of the image capture arrangement 12 and determining if an arcing candidate appears within the computed depth range 30 for the first image capture device 14 of the image capture arrangement 12 and at least one further image capture device 16 of the image capture arrangement 12 and, if it does, flagging the candidate as arcing at the contact region. |
