What is arcing horns?

Arcing horns are specialized electrical components used in high-voltage systems, such as circuit breakers and Transformers, to control and manage electrical arcs that occur during the interruption of current. They are typically metal extensions positioned near the main contact points, designed to extend the path of the arc, allowing it to dissipate safely and reducing the risk of damage to the equipment. By providing a controlled environment for the arc to extinguish, arcing horns help improve the reliability and safety of electrical systems.
