Many arc flash faults start as single-phase-to-ground faults and then develop into three-phase faults. This is why an early detection of the arc fault and fast fault isolation is needed. When a traditional time characteristic or blocking based coordination principle is used within a relay to mitigate arc flash, it may not be able to trip a breaker quick enough
