Contact arching is the action of an electricity flow that uses surround air as a conduit to sustain its charge. This action take place after a spark breaks away from an electric current.

What are the two reasons for arcing at the commutator?
A shorted coil or shorted coils in the rotor will cause arcing at the commutator. It should also be noted that if the brushes are damaged badly enough where they make contact with the commutator, this can cause arcing. Oh, and let's not forget that a stuck brush or brush spring will prevent a brush from making proper contact with the commutator. Arcing can result from that, too.
How can i clean contacts of an electrical breaker?
You shouldn't have to clean the contacts. If they aren't working, it's often due to damage from arcing. However, you can use compressed air, air in a can, or electrical contact cleaner, only after the main bus is de-energized and the breaker is removed from the panel. Contact cleaner is a liquid, and should not be sprayed into a live bus or breaker.

How do you prevent arcing in electrical contacts?
Arcing is caused by current trying to sustain its flow by using the air as a conduit. If the travel is very far the arc will dissipate as lack of paths. If the current is great it may sustain itself. All contactor have a biult in shoot trough to channel the energy harmlessly, A capacitor across the contacts can help by absorbing the difference in voltage when the contacts disconnect or connects
What is difference between breakdown voltage and dielectric strength of transformer?
The dielectric strenght of a transformer represents the maximum voltage permissible to apply across the transformer insulation i.e. between the transformer winding to another part of the transformer, normally the chassis or another winding and without break-down of the insulation ocurring (e.g. arcing). The breakdown voltage of a transformer represents a voltage that exceeds its dielectric strenght and that causes breakdown e.g. arcing across the insulation.

What will most likely cause arcing at a switch contact?
inductive loads, like motors
What could be the cause of arcing between the buss bar and a breaker?
Arcing is caused by a poor electrical connection. The breaker is not making good contact with the buss bar. Try replacing the breaker.
What is the breakdown voltages of 100KVA transformer bushing and arcing horns?
The question isn't correct, you have to define the voltage level not the power rating.
What are arcing contacts?
Whenever an electrical contact is made or broken, an electrical spark jumps through the air between the two contact points while they are very close together but not yet, or not any longer, touching. That spark jumping is an electrical arc and the event is arcing contact. The main cause of arcing is the property of a circuit to maintain the continuity of the current, so whenever the contacts separate to break the circuit the air (or any dielectric medium that is used) ionises and continuity of the current is maintained, at least momentarily.

Why is a knife used in a assault is not a contact trace?
Not sure what the questioner is asking. Define "contact trace."
Should a 24vdc circuit create arcing to use as a switch or signal?
Some voltage must be present but the current causes the arcing.
What is arching in electricity?
Arcing is electrical current jumping across a gap, or creating an arc, as in a spark plug firing, or lightning arcing across the sky.
What is HT Breaker arcing?
high voltage breaking capacity
Why is your ignition key getting hot?
You have a wire that is loose and arcing.
