First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for assessing metal vapor arcing risk for a component, comprising:
- acquiring a current variable value associated with an operation of the component;
comparing the current variable value with a threshold value for the variable;
evaluating compared variable data to determine the metal vapor arcing risk in the component; and
generating a risk assessment status for the component.

4. A method for assessing metal vapor arcing risk for a component comprising:
-
determining if the component is under high operating pressure or low operating pressure; determining if a fuse-cutoff current is beyond a threshold value for the component, if the component is under low pressure; and labeling the component as being at low risk for metal vapor arcing, if the fuse-cut off current is below the threshold value - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
