See the power of an arc flash!
Check out these short video segments to see the power of an arc blast/arc flash.
The video was taken at Eldorado Substation in Boulder City, NV. The file is called Lugo because this switch and shunt reactor are on the line that goes to Lugo. This one is clearly a 500KV (I can tell by the size) three-phase switch, probably rated at about 2000 amps of normal current carrying capability.
