Loose connections, which can develop over time, can sometimes become hot enough to ignite house fires.
An arc fault is a high power discharge of electricity between two or more conductors. This discharge generates heat, which can break down the wire's insulation and trigger an electrical fire. This discharge generates heat, which can break down the wire's insulation and trigger an electrical fire.
If after the first, swift reclose, the recloser closes onto a fault, it is likely that the fault is a secondary class of fault, vegetation contact or equipment failure.
