  2. Arc flash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_flash

    Light and current based protection can be set up with dedicated arc-flash protective relays, or by using normal protective relays equipped with an add-on arc-flash option. One of the most efficient means to reduce arcing time is to use an active arc flash mitigation device, e.g., an ultra-fast earthing switch (UFES).

  3. Arc suppression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arc_suppression

    The arc energy slowly destroys the contact metal, causing some material to escape into the air as fine particulate matter. This very activity causes the material in the contacts to degrade quickly, resulting in device failure. [4] [7] Understanding arc suppression requires an understanding of both arcing and arc initiation mechanisms.

  4. Electric arc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_arc

    An electric arc between two nails. An electric arc (or arc discharge) is an electrical breakdown of a gas that produces a prolonged electrical discharge.The current through a normally nonconductive medium such as air produces a plasma, which may produce visible light.

  5. Negative resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_resistance

    The center point (Q 1) is a point of unstable equilibrium (poles in the RHP), while the two outer points, Q 2 and Q 3 are stable equilibria. So with correct biasing the circuit can be bistable , it will converge to one of the two points Q 2 or Q 3 and can be switched between them with an input pulse.

    The dull halogen light. The spinning glass plate. The humming that terminates in a “BEEP.” Today the sights, sounds, and smells of the microwave oven are immediately familiar to most Americans.

  7. Failure of electronic components - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_electronic...

    A resistor removed from a high voltage tube circuit shows damage from voltaic arcing on the resistive metal oxide layer. Resistors can fail open or short, alongside their value changing under environmental conditions and outside performance limits. Examples of resistor failures include: Manufacturing defects causing intermittent problems.
