Dear all hello,
I am experimenting with high voltage, AC and DC, through high voltage transformers, and HV generators up to 9kV AC and 20kV DC. For the connection of the HV wires I am currently using O ring terminals, and I do not see any problems. Forgot to say that the current is very low just a few milliamps (10 the most).
I was wondering, since in this case insulation is the main thing, and HV connectors are very expensive, to use simple banana plugs, but having them well insulated i.e. putting the metal part in polyethylene rod of diameter 1 cm, if I would have any problems?
Many thanks for your support
