Because i should make an electron gun, so i should use high voltage:(DaveE said:If you need to ask this question, then you should stay away from 3kV until you have learned more about electronics. I am not being snide, I am concerned for your safety. To work with dangerous voltages you at least need to know how to research components online to determine their suitability for your application. There's a bunch of other stuff you need to know as well. Why don't you try a low voltage project?
my project is making electron gunTom.G said:What is known as "Test Lead Wire" is available with 1500V and 5000V ratings. If you need only short lengths, buying some Test Leads rated at 5000V is a source. If you need longer lengths, the mail order suppliers have it for $150 for a 100ft. spool. Here is one I found.

Another possibility is Spark Plug Wire used on car engines. Most of it is 'Resistance Wire', instead of wire it uses a carbonized thread. It can not carry much current and is somewhat fragile. The original Non-Resistance plug wire is probably still available, it's just that I haven't seen it the retail Auto Supply stores lately. If you are near a large body of water it may be available in Marine supply stores.
Good Luck! ...and what is your project?
Cheers,
Tom
High voltage is defined as any voltage above 1000 volts. It is often used in scientific experiments and industrial processes that require a large amount of energy, such as in electrical power transmission. It can also be used for specialized applications, such as in medical equipment or particle accelerators.
Yes, high voltage can be extremely dangerous and should only be handled by trained professionals. It can cause severe electric shocks and even death if proper safety precautions are not taken. It is important to always follow safety protocols and wear protective gear when working with high voltage.
High voltage is commonly used in electrical power transmission, industrial processes, and scientific experiments. It can also be used in medical equipment, such as X-ray machines, and in specialized applications like particle accelerators and lasers.
High voltage can be generated through a variety of methods, including transformers, generators, and batteries. In scientific experiments, high voltage can also be created through specialized equipment, such as Van de Graaff generators or Tesla coils.
Yes, there are several risks associated with using high voltage, including electric shock, fire, and equipment damage. It is important to always follow safety protocols and use proper equipment when working with high voltage to minimize these risks.
