what is the difference between arc and spark

Answer Posted / sanjay kumar shrivas

In both case the dielectric strength of the air gets break and because of that so many ions ll come into the picture... And those ions will provide a conducting path..thats why we use to see spark or arc..... But the difference between arc and spark is totaly related to the duration for which they are occuring...spark is for short time and arc is for long time

Practical condition in 400KV Sub station:- Breaker(open) , isolator(open), Earthing (close) at both end e.g A & B. Now Open A Stn Earthing than Open B stn Earthing (Which have a 50MVA reactor) , AND suddenly show R,Y,B phase 704KV,573KV,118KV respectively. Que is without closing of breaker how it is possible.????
