hello. I need to use a "coaxial" câble with 6 kV on axial wire. May I use a TV coaxial wire ? Will it be able to support such voltage. Anyway I must transport this HV and it must be shielded. A suggestion ?

Bob S said:I would use RG-8. See http://www.hyperline.com/catalog/cable/rg8.shtml

The purpose of high voltage shielding in coaxial cables is to protect against electrical interference and to ensure that the signal remains strong and stable. This is especially important in 6 kV applications where the voltage is high and can cause signal degradation.
When choosing a coaxial cable for 6 kV applications, it is important to consider the insulation material, the cable's voltage rating, and the shielding effectiveness. The insulation material should be able to withstand high voltages without breaking down, and the voltage rating should be at least 6 kV to ensure safety. The shielding effectiveness should also be high to reduce interference.
The shielding material plays a crucial role in the performance of a coaxial cable in high voltage applications. It helps to reduce electrical interference and ensures that the signal remains strong and stable. A high-quality shielding material will have a higher shielding effectiveness, which is essential for maintaining signal integrity in 6 kV applications.
Yes, there are specific standards for high voltage shielding in coaxial cables, such as the MIL-DTL-17 standard, which specifies the requirements for coaxial cables used in military applications. Other standards, such as the ANSI/UL 444 and IEC 60502-1, also provide guidelines for the design and testing of high voltage coaxial cables.
No, standard coaxial cables are not suitable for 6 kV applications as they do not have the necessary insulation and shielding properties. Specialized high voltage coaxial cables must be used to ensure safety and proper signal transmission in 6 kV applications. It is important to consult with a professional to select the appropriate coaxial cable for your specific application.
