Jack, I read that RG-8 is regularly used up to 50 kV.

I wanted to ask the group about this.  Several years ago, I remember
reading
somewhere that the polyethylene  surrounding RG-213 coaxial cable could
withstand up to 40 KV(?) in high voltage applications as long as the
shield
and outer jacket were removed.  Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Jack
