I should hope not :) They're designed for >150kVDC.

Without the ends connected, and suspended in air hanging by strings (if you 
lay them on the floor, they will arc out to the concrete). I will get 
breakout, hissing, and other nasty things from the 3 knobs on the ends (a 
X-ray cable with standard Federal ends has 3 conductors, they are at 
slightly different voltages). There's a LONG way from the little hiss of an 
Obit or NST and the wicked hiss of 150VDC, it's amazing :), it's more like a 
screaming whine than a hiss.

I love X-ray transformers :)
