Thanks for the link. Looks like it is a 345kv that goes through our place.
After a rain the ground will sizzle a little under it. Walking back from a field at night under a light mist of dew/rain you can see the electricity arc about a third to half way down the insulators that the wire is hanging on.
Never had a problem except sometimes GPS would go wonky when right directly under the wires.
Dad found out he could put up an electric fence and run a little ways underneath the highline wires and didn't need to hook up an electric fence charger. The capacitance would charge up the wire enough to make a spark about like the fence charger. I remember when they put the lines in when I was a young man they grounded any wire fence that went underneath it. |
