I worked in power transmission for an internship. What happens when a few Megawatts get loose and the protection systems don't trip is.... 'entertaining'. And a high-voltage capacitor bank going bang isn't nice for anything in the vicinity either.
Although, I'm also limited by the fact that a 3Gw Arc reactor isn't far off the 3.4 GW currently being drawn on by all households in the Republic of Ireland combined. (The record is just over 5GW). I don't think the movie writers understood just how much raw energy that is. It's enough to power a country.
