Electrical Arcing
Understanding Electrical Arcing – A Hidden But Dangerous Fault
Electrical arcing is a serious and potentially hazardous issue that occurs when electricity jumps through the air between conductors or from a conductor to ground. Often caused by damaged wiring, loose connections, corroded terminals, or overloaded circuits, arcing can produce extreme heat—enough to melt insulation, damage components, and even ignite surrounding materials, posing a severe fire risk.
Arcing faults may go undetected by the average homeowner or business operator, yet they are one of the leading causes of electrical fires in Australia. Symptoms such as flickering lights, buzzing sounds near outlets or switches, and occasional power trips should never be ignored, as they may be early warning signs of a more serious underlying problem. Left unresolved, electrical arcing can compromise the safety and performance of your entire system.
