Abstract
When an electric arc is inserted as part of an electric circuit (made for instance of power supplies, passive elements, motors, etc.), the latter must meet certain requirements and exhibits certain behaviors impossible to reproduce (except by very elaborate simulation) in the absence of the arc.
