It has been discovered through experimentation the mechanism of how and when an arcing short or a physical short occurs on a cable when exposed to a radiant heat flux. It is then considered how this mechanism acts on the size of the resulting arc beads. Another discovery was that a leakage current precedes a short circuit. Subsequently, it was found that arcing shorts and physical shorts can be distinguished...
The mechanism of how and when an arcing short or a physical short occurs on a polyvinyl chloride (PVC)‐insulated cable when exposed to radiant heat flux has been found experimentally. How this mechanism acts on the size of the resulting arc beads is also considered. As a physical short usually changes into an arcing short in an instant, it is difficult to determine which type of short circuit occurs...
