Don't those voltages leak like crazy across things which a normal person would consider as a safe insulator?
E.g. might some regular dirt on a plastic charging cable leak it into your hands?
- XorNot 6y agoIf you're considering those sort of voltages you might as well look into just using liquid nitrogen cooled cables and super-conducting cables. Liquid nitrogen can be made from the air on-site if needed, and is a hell of a lot easier to handle then hundreds or thousands of volts.
- meowster 6y agoI've never heard of "leaking", but higher voltages are more likely to cause arc blasts. Usually that only happens when a switch is thrown.
