Using TIW for HV signalling purposes

Hi,

would it be OK to use a piece of TIW wire for carrying some analog/digital control signals if substantial HV insulation is required? These wires have outstanding HV specs (6kV breakdown guaranteed, ~15kV measured) and can be made mechanically robust by enclosing the bundle in a heat shrinking tube sheath.

Technically it sounds OK, but will it induce massive spasms in the certification body worker?

Say I want the typical 2.5kV AC rating for the beginning.

Best regards, Piotr

Would the wire be flexed? They might not like single strand copper in that case.

What is a TIW wire?

Read the spec again for breakdown specifications? Is that spec for really long time exposure to HV?
