I suspect the difference is that for LV a large electode area is used, giving a fairly linear voltage gradient from one electrode to the other, but for HVAC I use only about .1" of 14 gauge wire, so a much larger portion of the emf is in the vicinity of the electrode. I believe that could probably account for the 10:1 difference between my linear computation and your experimental verification.
