Thank you for your responses so far. I'm not really knowledgeable on this subject. To follow up,
The room in which we do our PD tests is shielded. Right now the leads we are using are either polyester or teflon insulated with an additional silicone layer on top of it, so pretty decent...
I have been tasked with purchasing new lead wires for our partial discharge / corona testers. I am not sure which kind I need to buy or what ratings it needs. We test power transformers in the 1-50kV range and do not exceed 100mA. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
