I have helped test a 34.5kV PT (GE JVT200) transformer, once it
starts arcing-3ft + was easy,
and this was with 100V input (versus 120) and with 10 ohm, 1kW
ballasting resistor.
I have seen 34.5kV with a parted 3ph ~400A feeder arc vertically the
height of a telephone from road level
(30-40'). Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities.
