Oh, I see! You're stuck on stubbornly repeating the terminology that the poster used instead of simply admitting that you know exactly what he is talking about.

OK, well, I'll leave you to enjoy that. Have fun.

So, you don't have a link to an appliance inline breaker?

If your window AC plugs are arcing, unplug it immediately and check the plug and outlet for damage. Inspect the wiring for any frayed or loose connections. If issues persist, contact a qualified technician. Avoid using the unit until it's fixed to prevent hazards.

It should be turned off when plugged in. Any heavy load can arc when plugged in if it is turned on. It can arc when unplugged as well. (That's what switches are for)
