Undesired or unintended electric arcing can have detrimental effects on electric power transmission, distribution systems and electronic equipment. Devices which may cause arcing include switches, circuit breakers, relay contacts, fuses and poor cable terminations. When an inductive circuit is switched off, the current cannot instantaneously jump to zero: a transient arc will be formed across the separating co
Arcing: An Electrical Shock or Fire Hazard
The potential of arcing is why any wire junction/splice or wire termination should be properly wire-nutted and enclosed in a junction
