Another angle of attack... According to several meter installers in my area, an arcing pole is "hazardous and may start a fire. It is considered an emergency, call the emergency number on the back of

A word of caution: To a utility, there is a difference before "arching" and "sparking". If you have arching, the ham won't be the only person to call in the problem because everyone will probably be

Believe me, if it is "arcing" you will HEAR it with your ear... If it is sparking, you will hear it with your radio... I once heard an arc from 7200 line... I was maybe 40 feet away, and it was loud,

"You might get a quick initial response if you call it in as arching, but they will send the wrong crew out. If you cannot point to the obviously arching equipment, they will leave and be a little an

The electric company that supplies electricity to our area, (Xcel Energy) has been very responsive. They have a number to call with *noise* complaints and depending on *prioritized work load* they re

Ed, It is spelled arcing, not arching. I was intrigued by your statement that the Utility company handles arcing and sparking differently. The dictionary gives the same definition. I called our utili

Even places where they try to define a difference admit that common usage often confuses the terms: http://depts.washington.edu/vehfire/ignition/electrical/arcdef.html Historically a spark was usuall

Dave, That explains why our utility company considers both terms the same on responding to a customer call. Thats Interesting Dave, I didnt know the difference. Bob K6UJ _____________________________

IMO, this is bad advice - arcing and sparking are the same thing. My power company just wants to know it's there, and if possible on which pole. I've found it works very well with neighbors to bring

Thanks Bob! You are correct, it is "arc". I misspell a different word everyday ever since my craniotomy. ;-) And otto spelczech doesn't always help me, and sometimes copies my errors. Hey we all make

I have Marv Loftness'sAC Power Interference Manual Manual, and it makes it clear that sparking can cause RFI, as can arcing. He gives as an example of sparking loose hardware tying an insulator to a

Very true Pete! If a ham knows it is arcing, call it in as arcing! But most hams do not go out and locate the source of their noise. They just call it in. If you call RFI in as arcing and it isn't, t

OK, that makes sense to me. I have the good fortune to have become friends with the guy responsible for RFI at our local power company, so I have his direct line and can call him whenever I need help
