With all due respect, I must ask, how many megawatts are you guys running?

Hi Carl,


If the insulation breaks down they will arc, potentially causing a fire

Frank,

“Must” is a strong word. What goes wrong if you cross them?

Also, if insulated wires are used for radials that cross
over each other, is that to be treated differently than bare
metal wires that cross over each other and touch
so as to have electrical connectivity?

Does it matter if cross over radials are soldered at the
crossovers, so as to prevent parasitic "diodes".

For whatever weird reason, the price of insulated wire is
nearly always lower than the equivalent bare wire. And
Romex sells for less than the equivalent individual wires.
