Oct 15, 2019 at 18:49 comment added Mateusz Kwaśnicki Whoops, I misread your question! Of course Cantor sets will typically be non-polar, sorry. I suppose your second question made me think that you are asking about non-polar sets, because as explained in Josiah Park's answer, the logarithmic potential of the 1-D Lebesgue measure on $E \subset \mathbb{R} \times \{0\}$ is bounded on $E$, so if $E$ has positive Lebesgue measure, it is non-polar.

Oct 15, 2019 at 13:31 comment added Trusio Thanks. Anyway, can you be more precise or give me some references? Because a Cantor set is not necessarily polar. I tried to estimate the capacity of a general Cantor set using its construction, but in my estimate when I add the condition to be polar, the Lebesgue measure becomes 0.
Oct 15, 2019 at 10:33 comment added Mateusz Kwaśnicki A Cantor set will do the job. Take a fat one if you like positive $1$-D Lebesgue measure. In general, any set with positive Hausdorff dimension will be non-polar.
