What Causes Arc Flash? Electrical Arc Blast Explained

Arc Flash Incident | Joshua Barnett

An electric arc explosion, often referred to as an arc flash and the resulting arc blast, is a violent and extremely dangerous event in high-voltage and high-current electrical systems. It occurs when a low-impedance connection—such as through air, a conductive object, or debris—forms between two conductors or a conductor and ground. This sudden fault causes a massive, instantaneous release of electrical energy, creating an electric arc. The temperatures within this arc can reach up to 35,000F,
