A vehicle charging system for an electric vehicle includes charging terminals held in a housing and connected to corresponding power conductors to form power transmission lines. The vehicle charging system includes a charging controller for controlling vehicle charging along the power transmission lines. The vehicle charging system includes an arc sensor assembly coupled to the charging controller. The arc sensor assembly includes a diversity antenna for detecting arc signatures along the power transmission lines from an arc event. The diversity antenna transmits an arc output signal to the charging controller based on detection of the arc signature.
