Arc suppression

Arc suppression is a way of stopping big sparks or "arcs" from happening when you turn off a big electrical thing, like a light in a big room or a machine in a factory. It's like when you turn off the water and the faucet doesn't drip anymore.

When you turn off an electrical thing, there is still electricity left in the wires, and it can make a big spark when it tries to stop. This can be dangerous because the spark can make things catch on fire or hurt people.

So, to stop this from happening, engineers use something called an "arc suppression device." This device makes the spark smaller so it doesn't cause any trouble. It's like putting a lid over the faucet so the water doesn't splash everywhere.

Basically, arc suppression is a way of making sure that when you turn off something electrical, there isn't a big spark that can hurt anyone or start a fire.
