I am looking for an opto-isolator capable of switching 15,000 volts DC.  
The opto-isolators I have run across, however, all seem to have lower
thresholds.  I am wondering if any opto-isolators work at this voltage
and would appreciate any advice or information on a similar device that
would meet my needs.
