Both electric arc and plasma arc technology has been crucial in industrial heating and metalworking arena in the development of precision, efficiency, and productivity. Although they might appear to be equivalent in a practical sense (they both entail high-temperature electrical discharges), the processes, properties, but uses of the two are essentially different. These industrial differences…

The Impact of Electric Arc on Electrical Infrastructure: Causes and Consequences
Electric arc flash incidents pose one of the most serious risks to electrical infrastructure and personnel working around energized equipment. An electric arc flash is a sudden release of intense heat and light caused by a fault in an electrical system. While often brief, its consequences can be far-reaching—causing equipment failure, operational disruptions, and even…
Safety Measures to Follow While Working with Electric Arc
The process of working with an electric arc necessitates complete adherence to safety guidelines to avoid incidents, injuries, and safety threats. The flow of electrical current through air between two conductors results in extreme heat generation, bright light, and ultraviolet radiation production. The three industries that engage in welding electrical maintenance and metal fabrication depend…
