“…Furthermore, when the conductor-guy wire contact is not able to trip the line's protection, the leakage current to ground is a fire hazard, in addition to being an electrocution hazard. That is, if the leakage current to ground is of sufficient magnitude, temperatures capable of igniting dry vegetation can arise (the ignition temperature of dry vegetation is approximately 180°C (Mouzakitis et al, 2011;Quintiere, 1997). The analysis of the accident helped in the understanding of a new class of electrical accidents, which can occur when the protective media do not detect the contact of an overhead line conductor with a metallic surface (in this case study, with the guy wire).…”

“…The question as to whether the molten particles caused the fire or if they were created from the fire has not been unequivocally answered 1 . If a copper bead is ejected from a specific height, its temperature at the moment it reaches the floor can be calculated 2,3 . That temperature is in many cases significantly greater than the ignition temperature of many building materials 2,4 .…”
