Fellow Listers,
Many thanks to all those that responded to my query on arcing and sparking.
I now have a much better appreciation of the difference. All of your
answers will be passed to the original design review team from whence the
query came.
Cheers
Jim

At a recent equipment design review, a discussion on arcing and sparking

Is an 'arc', basically just a long 'spark'. If so
I have always related arcing to having end-points: having at
least two electrodes and involving electrical conduction.

I have never seen a really definitive statement about arcs and sparks however I
tend to think of sparks as transient ( as in spark plugs) and arcs as sustained
(as in arc lamps). Does that make sense?

Is an 'arc', basically just a long 'spark'. If so, at what point
(precisely) does a 'spark' become an 'arc'?
