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.
