Even if the particles that leave the wire are all the same size, they quickly aggregate into larger particles if left in areas of high concentration. That is why stirring can reduce particle size so well. HVAC basically does the stirring for you, the high voltage causes the particles to quickly move away from the wire to lower concentration areas, and the power causes movement due to convection currents. Also the alternating current causes the hydrogen and oxygen that is produced to alternate between the electrodes so that neither electrode becomes reducing or oxidating, they simple react with each other making water, eliminating the oxides and blackening of the electrodes.
