Yes. The leakages are also unsymmetric:
"Coronas may be positive or negative. This is determined by the
polarity of the voltage on the highly-curved electrode.
In a power lines are also the counterpoise:
"Overhead power lines are often equipped with a ground conductor
(shield wire or overhead earth wire). A ground conductor is a conductor
that is usually grounded (earthed) at the top of the supporting
structure to minimize the likelihood of direct lightning strikes to the
phase conductors. The ground wire is also a parallel path with the
earth for fault currents in earthed neutral circuits. You should know
that before the IIWW in the Soviet Union, Germany and US were quite
different phisics.
Now are the same in the whole "free" world but the older books are also
avaiable.

Hello chaps. I've solved the puzzle of the what S* is. He's an
out-of-work comedy writer.
He says that in Poland they have a power supply that
operates with corona discharge as normal (I assume into the house) and
operates with lightning strikes as the norm.
Of most interest to us all will be S*'s assertion that physics varied
from country to country before WWII. Anyone know (or care to guess) who
unified physics around the world?
It's dull and drizzling here in my part of the UK. That posting from S*
made me smile so it did have a positive use (pun intended).
73 to all, Ian.
No, he's just stupid.
