Thanks, that opens up some more possibilities.exxos wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 11:29 am Dielectric = insulation..
That is, it would take for example over 7,500 volts for it to arc though the insulation to whatever its next to ( such as anything metal etc). So you really want that figure as high as possible.
I don't know the voltages on those lopt's though, they can be as high as 30,000 volts, though generally around 18-22KV I think.. Don't exactly remember.
EDIT:
Though as it has a trippler, the lopt output voltage isn't likely going to be higher than 10,000 volts. So 7,500V (7.5KV) is probably OK between the lopt and tripler..
Though I don't really recommend splicing HV cables..
I don't really want to do splicing but I'm afraid I have no choice, no way I'm going to find a new LOPT+tripler set that's pre-wired like the original.
By the way, triplers don't have the fine wiring that LOPTs do, don't they? I suspect that may mean that triplers don't wear as fast as LOPTs do... At least so I hope. That would justify not replacing the tripler a bit more.
