Definition of flashover in English: flashovernounˈflaʃəʊvəˈflæʃˌoʊvər 1A high-voltage electric short circuit made through the air between exposed conductors. Example sentencesExamples - Every single piece of steel in the Minster that will conduct electricity is now bonded with the lightning protection system to stop this sort of flashover.
- In an instant, an avalanche of electrons is rolling over the surface in a catastrophic flashover.
- Self-cleaning, they improve line performance and reduce flashover.
- The insulator structure may reduce the occurrence of flashovers to and from the gate lines and emitters when the field emitter device is used in a display.
- Section 232 requires workers to wear flame resistant outerwear if they could be exposed to a flash fire or electrical equipment flashover.
2An instance of a fire spreading very rapidly through the air because of intense heat. Example sentencesExamples - It was only a matter of time before a flashover occurred.
- The sudden intake of air with the heat of the cigarette caused a flashover and he was trapped as flames and smoke engulfed the vehicle.
- While the fire load of the fuel was not overwhelmingly large, the flammability meant that the rate of growth of the fire was almost explosive and led to almost instantaneous flashover.
- The cameras allow firefighters to find victims in smoke-filled buildings, discover hot spots that point to a fire's origin, and warn of deadly flashovers before they occur.
- They were faced with the possibility of a flashover as the fire, in a matter of minutes, progressed to a stage where it was producing copious amounts of thick smoke.
- Minutes after they escaped, there was a fire flashover and the whole building went up in flames.
