i read a thread here about repairing a transmission lines with a helicopter and i saw it too on TV. i saw there is a visible spark between the wand and the conductor before he clamps it on. One answered that it sparks because the wand cuts magnetic line of force and charges flow.My question is if the charges flow from the wand and you keep it arcing between the conductor for a very long period of time, (just theoretically) will all the charges from the wand transfer to the conductor and how will the wand be affected?(will it slowly decrease to its original size)
thanks
