Why #14 with rounded ends? Because it supports your position? Why not

Seems you misunderstand. I'm not saying corona never occurs.
I'm saying it is possible for charged particle
noise to exist without corona occurring. Do you understand the
difference between an exclusive statement and an inclusive
statement? It's the other side making the exclusive assertions.
All I have to do is present one example where charged particle
noise exists without corona. That case may be a #14 wire with
rounded ends.

No, Cecil, it seem that *you* misunderstand. My point was that you quote 100
uA/cm^2, and it takes very little current to achieve that with a tiny point.


But, nevermind. This has become pointless.
