    Other thing to consider is where that power will go in the event of failure, it's not uncommon for tubes to arc to the machine chassis when the tube finally dies, too much insulation is going to make it track somewhere else. The 16mm x 4mm wall stuff I have on mine prevents running arcs but still allows arc though when the tube dies if I'm not standing by the machine. If overkill insulation means it's going to arc somewhere along the HT line(they are made by people that earn less a month than I do per hour) it's a case of hoping the path of least resistance isn't part of the operator

    I'm no electrician, (Physics is my forte) but I know enough about it to know 35,000 volts no matter how many milliamps isn't going to end well if I'm in the way (and it bloody hurts)

    best wishes

    No point asking for advice if you don't take it. 4mm wall silicone tubing is hard to find in short lengths, I did try. I can do it with two lengths of 2mm wall one inside the other.

    One of my buddies is a Doctor of physics. I get to do all sorts things I probably shouldn't simply by getting him to countersign my application

    Hi
    I used a piece of shrink tubing and never hat a arc within the last three years and 3 tubes.
    greetings

    For all those clods thinking they know everything better.

    Synrads Instruction says:

    The chiller`s temperature setpoint must be set above the dew point Temperature.
    For example, if the ambient air temperature is 85F (29C) and the relative humidity is 60%, than the dew point is temperature is 70F (21C).
    Adjust the chiller`s temperature setpoint to 72F (22C) to prevent condensation ...

    Read for content "Mr" Cinematic

    if the ambient air temperature is 85F (29C) and the relative humidity is 60%, then the dew point is temperature is 70F (21C).
    Adjust the chiller`s temperature setpoint to 72F (22C) to prevent condensation
    Taking 2 variables and getting a conclusion that supposedly fits all possibles doesn't work.

    IF the relative humidity isn't 60% then the dew point changes.

    IF the ambient air temperature isn't 29C then the dew point changes.

    Stick to something you are good at, as Maths and Physics clearly aren't two of them.
