HV xray cable revisited
Original poster: "MIKE HARDY" <MHARDY@xxxxxxxxxx>
Some time back I had a discussion on the list about stripping off the
black conductive coating that remains after the shield is removed,
for 8" or so on either end of my HV xray cable. It seems this black
coating still arcs if it is in contact to ground, or the other xfmr
lead (14.4 kV). Is this simply distributive capacitannce causing
coupling due to it's use on AC? Do you think this robs alot of
energy? Is it dangerous if layed on damp ground? I find running the
leads thru pvc to the TC cumbersome, and time consumming, when I want
to drag it outside for short runs. Since I want to run my coil
tonight for new years a quick reply would be greatly apreciated.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
