:: Power lines being blown together drawing arcs. ::
Known as “line-slap” where I come from.
It plagues every suspended wire installation, including cable and telephone.
The lines don’t even have to touch, just come in close enough proximity to arc.
The build-up of static electricity on the outside of a high-voltage wire is amazing.
Which is what usually causes the arc.
I’ve worked in power plant sub-stations that were literally hair-raising.
Is that why I see ninja stars on a lot of high power lines?
