I hate water damage!
A damaged insulation coating on a transmission line can allow the introduction of water and other contaminants in the transmission line, reducing its transitivity. Additional ground kits should be installed on the transmission line as it travels down the tower. Again, the idea is to maintain the same potential on the transmission line and tower structure, eliminating the arcing.
