When the voltage is sufficient to ionize the air between the conductors, an arc will form. Air that has been ionized becomes an excellent conductor, enabling electricity to flow. Air ionization produces a current that creates heat and dazzling light. This heat causes the ionized air to ascend, creating an arch-shaped current, hence the phenomenon&#8217;s name. An arc flash can produce temperatures up to 20,000 degrees Celsius.<\/p><p>Arc flash dangers endanger both humans and property.
