How does electric rain occur through a power line?
Electric rain occurs through a power line when there is a combination of moisture and contaminants on the surface of the line. When the line becomes wet, the moisture and contaminants create a conductive path for electricity to flow. This can lead to a phenomenon known as "electric rain," where the electricity arcs or leaks from the power line to the ground, potentially causing power outages or damage to the line. Measures such as insulating the power line or using protective coatings can help prevent electric rain from occurring.
