I got a 150 KV rated xray HV cable. Per D.C.'s recomendations, I
stripped the outer jacket, removed the braded shield, and cut off the
'candlestick' ends. I then reterminated to acomadate the connections
as I needed. The outer jacket (what was under the shield CONDUCTS !!
It nicely shorted the hv output of my PT! What's going on here? Is
this normal? I placed the hv leads of a 15kv nst at 2 points on the
insulation away from the conductor, and it happilly arced! Any
thoughts would be apreciated.
