Thanks for the explanation. I wonder if you can detect integrity issues in the insulation instead and use that to shut down the system instead.
3000 volts DC is a "definitely dead" voltage, as opposed to current 110 volt AC systems which are "you'll probably survive" if you use a kitchen knife to cut through the insulation.
Given that you need the protection systems in place anyway, there isn't much point in thicker insulation, unless you like your cord being more cumbersome, heavier and more expensive.
