RE: [TCML] HV wire ?

Ian,

If you're looking for flexible 15KVAC rated cable, try:
http://www.okonite.com/product_catalog/section6/sheet4.html I am using
two 30 foot lengths of this for the feed lines between my power
controller (12KV) and my "Zotzilla" tesla coil. It is very flexible and
tough. And besides; the jacket says "15 KV Jumper Cable"; how cool is
that? Comes in the size you're looking for and bigger! Why make it (is
it as safe?) when you could just buy it.

Firstly, why would you need 0 AWG rated at 15kV???

0 AWG is rated for approx. 150A for power transmission.  That's 2.25Mega
Watts continuous.  I doubt you have anything that requires that.

Secondly, that's not a wire gauge that's even available among the most
common High Voltage wire manufacturers.  (i.e. Teledyne-Reynolds,
etc...)  Maybe utility companies make something, but nothing in the
commercial or military industry would be available at that size.

Your best bet is simply to make your own.  Just get the wire and use a
sleeving material from some sort of tubing.

Hi we're looking for 20 feet of 0 AWG rated to 15kv, does anyone have
any they would sell or know of a good supplier?
