The electrosurgical system (3) includes a generator (2) adapted to generate electrosurgical energy for treating tissue. The generator (2) includes one or more active output terminals which supply energy to the tissue. The 5 active output terminals are operatively connected to one or more supply lines (18). The generator (2) also includes one or more return output terminal which returns energy from the tissue. The return output terminals are operatively connected to at least one return line (19). The system (3) also includes an electrosurgical instrument (10) operatively connected to the one or more supply lines (18) and one or more return electrodes operatively 10 connected to one or more return lines (19). The system (3) further includes an electrosurgical cable (20) including one or more supply lines (18) and one or more return lines (19). The one or more supply lines (18) and one or more return lines (19) are wound in a double helix fashion such that the electrical field along the cable (20) is mitigated along the length thereof. 955587_I.DOC316 co 00 CAD CVD VCV5 CS clq ,It CD cz M
