Of course its far,far better not to contact any overhead line, typically
isolation capacitors are rated at 5KV in the older MV's radio gear since its
normal in Europe to find 11KV lines on full sized pylons and you'd need 40' or
more of antenna to touch one, the greatest danger is the much lower, often on a
telegraph pole type support, 440v 3Ø domestic distribution and the blocking
capacitor is well able to handle this.
