Although air is a good insulator, ionized air is conductive and helps to sustain arcs when an electrical arc causes the air to be ionized.
True
Because the connection is a fusion of high conductivity, Furseweld connections can withstand repeated fault currents and will not loosen in the way that mechanical connectors can.
True
resistance to earth is also commonly known as resistivity
True
