{wiki=Arcing_horns}
Arcing horns are protective devices used in high-voltage electrical applications, such as electrical substations and power distribution systems. They are typically made of conductive materials and are designed to control and direct electrical arcs that may occur during equipment operation or failure. The primary purpose of arcing horns is to enhance the safety and reliability of electrical equipment by: 1. **Redirecting Arcs**: When a fault occurs (like a short circuit), an electrical arc can form as a result of the high voltage.
