Hi Folks

I have to remote a TWT from its power supply. The problem is
the voltage is 5 KV on down. There are 5 conductors which
handle from the 5 KV mentioned down to gnd potentional. I
must splice and insulate these wires from each other and
from the environment. It will be outside. Current being
handled is not much. Less than 1 amp for filaments and
less for the others. So any ideas on the best way to do this
and any special tape connectors etc. that should be used.

This is an amplifier just higher in frequency than what I
normally see here. Appreciate any input.
