Arc-over does not happen when the top load discharges to a ground wire brought
close enough to the steel ball top load. Those discharges are brilliantly white
and about 100dB loud. If a ground wire is removed further and further from the
top-load until the point where no more visible discharge is happening the
secondary starts to arc over.

capacity.
