Which consequence results when a high-voltage arc flash occurs within sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) insulated equipment?

💡 Explanation

Arcing causes SF6 decomposition via dissociation followed by recombination pathways, forming SF4 and HF. Therefore, corrosive fluorides form, rather than the non-reactive forms, because the high energy of the arc overcomes bond enthalpy and drives new molecular arrangements.
