Arc Flash Accident - live cam_(360p).mp4

Arc flash accidents occur as a result of a phenomenom known as "arc flash". Arc Flash is a consequence of the passage of current between two electrodes through ionized gases and vapors. The electrical energy supplied to the arc is converted into other forms of energy, resulting in intense thermal radiation, noise, explosive expansion of surrounding air due to rapid heating, and melting/vaporization of arc electrodes and metal components in the vicinity of the arc. What causes this? An electric arc flash occurs when the insulation between the conductive components can no longer withstand the applied voltage.
