Oh, so this is what those balls on high voltage cables mean

Thunder and lightning

The high voltage cables are of course not the only work of electricity hanging in the air! Clouds can also cause a lot of fireworks when it storms. The result: bright flashes of electricity. By providing the high-voltage cables with the glass sheaves, the lines are also protected against lightning striking the mast. So don’t worry about those during the next thunderstorm!
