An electrical explosion, or "arc flash", occurs when one or more high current arcs are created between electrical conductors or between an electrically energized conductor and neutral ground. Once initiated, the resulting arc(s) can bridge significant distances even though the voltage is relatively low.
In the above demonstration, arcs were intentionally initiated by bridging wires across three copper bus bars in a testing laboratory.
Three phase 480 volt power was then applied across the bus bars for
