Projector startup regularly but after a few seconds I can see an arcing from splitter body to his support.

After arcing, the tubes shutdown and can see red led in EHT board.

Can be any other fault can cause this issue or is definitely bad the splitter?

It can be bad HV leads as well. Leave the quadrupler HV lead in the splitter, but pull out all the HV leads going to the tubes. Power up. If you still have arcing, the splitter is bad, if the arcing stops, you have an issue with one of the leads. I've got both the splitter and new HV leads in stock.
