App Concept

ArcSnap Tracer

ArcSnap Tracer is a portable diagnostic app that continuously monitors electrical systems for intermittent arc faults, capturing events that traditional testers miss. It also uses non-contact signal injection to trace circuits in messy MCC panels without relying on ohming out. This eliminates repeat callbacks and saves hours of troubleshooting.

Key Features

Continuous monitoring and logging of arc fault events over time
Non-contact circuit tracing via signal injection and detection
Visual mapping of circuit paths on a tablet or phone screen
Historical data playback to analyze fault patterns

Target Users: Commercial and industrial electricians who troubleshoot complex electrical panels, MCCs, and systems with intermittent faults.

Revenue Model: Freemium: basic tracing free; premium subscription ($29/month) for advanced arc fault capture and analytics.
