Lew,
That's in direct conflict with everything I've seen from RFI engineers.
Over the years, I've seen plenty of reports of hardware in the power
system failing in a mode that causes it to arc. See
http://www.arrl.org/power-line-noise for a great discussion of all sorts
of RF noise, including power line noise. At least 10 years ago, I bought
and read "AC Power Interference Handbook" by Marv Loftness, a field
engineer who specialized in that work. He said that virtually all power
line noise is caused by SOMETHING arcing.

Drawing from a decade of experience working as head of the PR department for a
major electric utility (a long time ago), I’d like to suggest that arcing per
se should not be a problem at any time with any power line if it is functioning
properly. The individual transmission wires are spaced far enough apart that
arcing shouldn’t be possible.
