    What kind of fields?

    When PD, arcing or sparking occurs, electromagnetic waves propagate away from the fault site in all directions which contact the transformer tank and travel to earth (ground cable) where the HFCT is located to capture any EMI or EMP within the transformer, breaker, PT, CT, HV Cable, MCSG, LTC, LA, generator, large hv motors, etc.

    Electromagnetic ones!

      Yes, EM-Waves consist of an Electric and an orthogonal Magnetic field, these are linked, one can’t exist without the other, otherwise you wouldn’t get a wave. Partial discharge which is a form of corona discharge is caused by Electric fields.

        Neat. So tell me, am I wrong in any of my statements this far. No? So what is the point of this tedious interaction?

          You’re citing random parts of a wikipedia article that talks about an effect caused by an electric field and claim that it’s caused by a magnetic field. You’re an unscientific troll.

            It’s not random if you read the wiki.

            And you’re a tedious know-it-all. So again answer my question have I said anything untrue? No, I phrased something in a way you don’t agree with because it’s atypical but not inaccurate.

            Grow up or be more entertaining at the very least.
