What is arc burn

First, the arc is a kind of air conduction phenomenon, which will release high heat, with a temperature of 6000 to 8000 degrees. At the same time, it will produce dazzling light, namely arc light. Arc light will also do great harm to the skin. The skin exposed to arc light for a long time will desquamate. Arc burn is the result of arc damage to skin.

Second, when the current passes through the air medium, or when the circuit is short circuited, it will produce strong arc light and spark damage, and the electron flow does not pass through the body. The arc temperature is between 2000 ℃ and 3000 ℃, but the duration is short, so it is usually second degree burn.

Third, if the clothing burns and fails to put out the fire and take off the clothes in time, it can aggravate the degree of burn and become a third degree burn, and there are often charcoal particles attached to the wound area. If there is eschar, the eschar should be cut to release the normal tissue below. If the wound is small, it can heal itself.
