A device and method for detecting a location of an arc event between a power bus and a coupler of an electric vehicle monitors an interface between the power bus and the coupler for the occurrence of an optical event. A determination is made if an arc event occurred based on the optical event, and upon determining the occurrence of an arc event at least one of a time the arc event occurred or a position of the electric vehicle at the time the arc event occurred is recorded.
