Cable

[bartie]

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!
Bart

Standard medium voltage cables have lossy semiconducting layers and highly inductive shields which create losses and attenation to a travel waves higher than power frequency. Try Timesmicrowave.com for HV shielded HF cables.
