Howdy!

 

I use polyethylene-insulated RG-8 cable extensively for high-voltage

use in my laboratory, at potentials up to 20 kV, and I have never had a

problem with it.

 

Spellman High Voltage uses it for potentials of only up to 8kV in their

products,

but I have a Del Electronics 40kV power supply "brick" that employs RG-8

cable for its output connection.

 

I have devised a simple HV connector for use with coaxial cable, and
which

may be modified for just about any potential.  I have posted details on
my

Web site-take a look at

for more information and some photographs.  Please stay safe!
