When an arc occurs, the resulting voltage is quite high creating a great deal of heat. Controlled arcing is used to cut or melt metals. An arc welder is an example of controlled arcing. A lightening bolt is an example of uncontrolled arcing. The tremendous amount of energy and voltage contained in a lightening bolt illustrates the danger of an arc. An uncontrolled arc can also occur in a home wiring system or within the wiring of an appliance. This situation has a great potential for damage.
