Which action during live line maintenance leads to capacitive discharge via personal grounding?

💡 Explanation

Electrostatic coupling causes capacitive discharge when a worker grounds themselves without first discharging the isolated conductor, because the *capacitive divider* mechanism quickly equalizes potential. Therefore static coupling creates high transient current, rather than inductive influencing a slower rise.
