In a fine ARRL book by an experienced power line noise engineer that I 
bought about 20 years ago, the author observed that almost all noise 
generated by power systems is the result of something failing, resulting 
in arcing, insulators being a common one.

Several years ago, Jeff, AC0C, alerted us to the use of MOVs in 
distribution lines, and noise resulting when they fail. He sent photos, 
which I added to my applications note on chasing noise.
