Cable I have been using so far was hi voltage rated. However, I think that cable flashover voltages are specced at 50/60 Hz or DC, so I have no idea what happens at higher frequencies. An RCL measurement showed no spectacular results, but this was done at 5V...
Something more about the...
Thanks for all this feedback...
I think that essentially the issue is the frequency. When I transport a similar signal at a lower frequency, everything works fine.
Jimkirk, source output is of the order of 1nF.
Davidbeach, how did you calculate the 166A? Was this at 50/60Hz?

I am looking for a cable to transport a 3kV, 500kHz signal over a few meters. When using standard cables (or high voltage rated cables), the signal tends to decrease to 1 or 2 kV after 1 or 2 meters.
Any suggestions of cables I could use?
Thanks!
