Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An arc-flash is a dangerous condition associated with the possible release of energy caused by an electric arc. An arc-flash is a sudden release of electrical energy through the air when a high-voltage gap exists and there is a breakdown between conductors. This can result in an explosion, fire, or flying debris, causing severe burns, injuries, or even fatalities. The other options, such as arc blast, electrical hazard, or volt, are not precise or comprehensive enough to describe the specific danger of an electric arc release.
