I've made my own by buying shielding braid, and slipping it over the 
wire or cable as needed. For example 
www.wireandcableyourway.com/belden-8669-8-9-awg-hook-up-wire-braided-tinned-copper 
is 0.5" diameter. Various sizes are available from wire suppliers like 
Belden.


If it's big enough, you can strip scrap/surplus RF transmitting coax 
cable (RG-8, RG-11, RG-58, RG-59 etc.) and slide its braided shield over 
your own cables. You need the /U version with a braided copper shield; 
cheap TV coax only has a foil shield and won't work.


You can wrap thick wires or cable bundles with aluminum or copper foil. 
Companies like www.tapejungle.com/categories/foil-tape.html sell copper 
adhesive tape that is good for this purpose.


Finally, you can route your cables in metal conduit. I did this on my 
LeCar EV for the 2/0 cables that run under the car between the front and 
rear battery boxes. It provides both shielding and protection from road 
debris.


If you do a good enough job with your shielding, even the AM radio will 
work! :-)


Hope this helps,
Lee

I've had good luck ordering welding cable by the foot from various ebay 
suppliers.  The last order I made was from:

 From time to time I need HV shielded cable typically 50 or 70mm 1/0 2/0.
Looking for more suppliers, ones that respool as I don't need that much
50-100 ft at a time.
North America preferred but open to ideas
Can someone point me?
