[Lowfer] THHN house wire

Loopers,

Mike R: Can you run your test on the wire for 1500v breakdown at 136k? If=
 so, how about testing at room temperature, then at approx 120F? I can do=
 this, but not right away.

>Distance is your friend.

That's what everyone said about placing the same type of wire on the tops=
 of trees at the 1W level. Kinda glad I didn't pay attention! <G>  I'll s=
ee what the leakage current is to ground for my pipe loop when I place 15=
00 volts on it. The Insulation on the wire may not be needed.
