Sean: ""
You offered estimated figures, providing numbers to crunch. I've measured real world products that are beyond the figures quoted. Whether or not they'll withstand a 6KV blast, i sincerely doubt it. Then again, i sincerely doubt that the majority of generic 18 or 16 gauge power cords made in China will hold up too well to that test either. I havent tested such things, nor am i aware of the specifics of the test methodology used, so i'm strictly guesstimating here."'
The figures were estimated just to afford sometin to talk on. Don't take them seriously. It is possible a cable has those exact values, and I could easily construct one, but above and below are certainly viable. Higher inductance just means farther apart.The 6Kv is actually the accepted flashover voltage that is supported by the 120 volt outlets in the USA. 6kV is considered the highest transient that can therefore get to a piece of equipment that is plugged into line. Back at the circuit breaker panel, that number is 15 Kv.
For my purposes, I would just go with a 5Kv DC Hi-pot test, limit of 5 microamp leakage for 30 seconds or so. (Note, this is not a recommendation for safety testing of any equipment, just a "druthers" of mine. For true safety test regimes, gotta go with the national specs..
