RG-58 choices-  try and use RG-58 with "solid" dielectric (solid polythene), the foam is junk and once it is bent or kinked or distorted the insulation properties deteriorate. Once all is cabled up take the time to then install a separate chassis to chassis ground (separate wire outside the cable) and then ground to the station "AC" ground system. It is often hard to find a decent place on the ART-13 to install a chassis ground wire due to corrosion/paint  on the panels etc.

I use good quality, #16 for the filament leads. #18 is ok for the 400v and control wiring. Ground is #16. For the 1150v line, I use the center conductor from a piece of RG-8X coax. As outer shield, I use opened flat braid and Voltrex fabric tubing.  So far, no issues with maybe 6 ART-13 setups.

Subject: [MRCA] art13 dynamotor cable
 
folks
thanks to Robert Downs from awhile ago I acquired the plugs for both ends of the art13 and dynamotor dc cable.  can anyone tell me what size/voltage rating  conductors I need to use for the multiconductor cable and also should it be shielded/bonded?  thanks Jeff N2IA
I am making up the cable
