RE: Corona Discharge-When The Powerlines Hisses and Glows

This is interesting, is that why the transformer near our house has some sparks on the wires near it that I experience at night. I notice our physic teacher once mentioned it during classes.

What you see at the transformer is similar and it is due to electric arc. It all results from ionization of air ( breakdown of insulation of air). Thanks for finding time to read through.

Thank you. Now it is more clear.
