An arc flash typically lasts less than one second, but it can leave devastating results. It is an explosive blast of flame, debris, sound and force resulting from substantial electrical current passing through ionized air. Molten metals, such as copper, can be propelled at exceptionally high velocity, with radiant heat levels exceeding 35,000°F.
