Les capsules détonatrices connectées directement aux allumeurs électriques sont appelées détonateurs électriques instantanés. En fonction du temps d'action de l'allumeur électrique sur l'explosif d'amorçage primaire, les détonateurs électriques peuvent être classés en détonateurs électriques instantanés, et en détonateurs électriques à retard et à court retard [...] Ces dernières années, [...] on a commencé à utiliser des détonateurs électriques à court retard assurant un intervalle entre les explosions de plusieurs dizaines ou centaines de secondes. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tonateur%20%C3%A9lectrique%20%C3%A0%20microretard
