  • Abstract
    The development of computerized three-dimensional modeling for electrical arc events is presented. Data from a mathematical simulation of the pressure wave associated with arc faults are compared to experimental data obtained in equipment testing. Consequences of electrical arc faults and mitigation strategies are reviewed
