Dear LF, I have had some thoughts about HV problems when operating a vertical antenna wire at some 10kV. Normally, e.g. in a 50Hz system there will flow a current into the air (capacitive with a rest
Dear Stefan, LF Group, Bear in mind that the problems that are likely to occur is that your antenna wire will be left trailing across the ground, an your kite will be gliding away towards the horizon
Dear Stefan, there was no such a problem (seems to me) in Markus experiment with 10kV. May by with 20kV... But anyway corona protected rings (rather small i think) to be usefull on the ends of wire.
I agree with Alexander, 10kV is not so high. If you were looking at > 30kV or 40kV or so, then it might become an issue. But even then it can be controlled at the ends. I think it just has to be trie
