when burning objects heat walls and other objects in an enclosed area to their ignition temperature, causing them to flame; marked by large increase in flame volume and a sudden, marked rise in gas temperature
Arcing that is caused by the breakdown of insulation between two conductors where a high current flow exists, with a high potential difference between the conductors
1 ) Rapid combustion and/or explosion of unburned gases trapped at some distance from the main fire front Usually occurs only in poorly ventilated topography 2 ) Stage of a fire at which all surfaces and objects within a space have been heated to their ignition temperature, and flame breaks out almost at once over the surface of all objects within the space
The stage of a fire at which all surfaces and objects within a space have been heated to their ignition temperature and flame breaks out almost at once over the surface of all objects in the space
-An unintended electrical discharge to ground or another phase Flashovers can occur between two conductors, across insulators to ground or equipment bushings to ground
Flashing due to high current flowing between two points of different potential Usually due to insulation breakdown resulting from arcing or lightning
