Undesired Arcing

“How can electrical arcing go haywire?”

 

Like any action undertaken with machinery, electrical arcing has the potential for serious problems and mishaps. Undesired electrical arcing is when an electrical arc is created when one does not want that to occur. For example, this can occur when a low resistance channel (such as dust) comes in between the places of voltage. This will cause an early discharge, which results in an electrical arc being formed, which ends with a complete disaster.
