High Voltage Disconnect Switch Arcing

Please Like and Subscribe :) Check out this forming and breaking of a large electrical arc as a high voltage (HV Electrical) disconnect switch is opened. The arc starts across the shortest path, but the ionized-plasma current-path heats up and rises. The ionized plasma has much lower resistance than the surrounding air so the current continues through the plasma. Stunning to watch. #shorts #highvoltage #electrical
