Using TIW for HV signalling purposes

[Piotr Wyderski]

Hi,

would it be OK to use a piece of TIW wire for carrying some
analog/digital control signals if substantial HV insulation
is required? These wires have outstanding HV specs (6kV breakdown
guaranteed, ~15kV measured) and can be made mechanically robust
by enclosing the bundle in a heat shrinking tube sheath.

Technically it sounds OK, but will it induce massive spasms
in the certification body worker?

Say I want the typical 2.5kV AC rating for the beginning.

Best regards, Piotr

Would the wire be flexed? They might not like single strand copper
in that case.

What is a TIW wire?

is required? These wires have outstanding HV specs (6kV breakdown

Read the spec again for breakdown specifications? Is that spec for
really long time exposure to HV?
