An arc flash is the energy release that occurs during an electrical fault when current flows through the air between two live conductors, causing a short circuit. In a residential setting, an arc flash usually produces little more than a brief flash of light before extinguishing itself harmlessly. In a commercial or industrial setting, however, voltages and currents are significantly higher, so electrical faults typically release far more energy. As a result, an arc flash routinely produces a powerful explosion marked by searing heat, toxic fumes, blinding light, deafening noise and massive pressure waves.
