Curious: what would happen if a drone hit a live power line? I assume the drone would be toast, but would the power be impacted?
Even the smallest power lines are at least 1/2" (12.7mm) in diameter and the high tension power lines are more like 2.5" (63.5m) in diameter so a 1.5 pound drone or even the much larger Inspire drones wouldn't stand a chance against them. As to the wires ... chances are the only damage that might happen would be to nick the jacket on the wires that have coatings. It would take a pretty massive drone travelling at very high speed to damage even the smallest power lines.
