I don't think the shield is rated for +/-250V, and I'm not sure I would
want to handle RG-58 with 250V on the shield. If you do this, use
triax cable and ground the outter shield, and make sure the breaker can
interrupt the fault current (if the fault currrent is in the hundreds,
or even tens of Amps then this would not be a good idea).

Sure it is.. It's almost certainly rated to 300V (most all wire is), and
probably higher. Recalling that RG-58 doesn't really describe a
specific kind of cable or construction (especially these days.. what you
get is "RG-58 type")
But looking at the data sheet for Belden 9310 (the first RG-58 that
popped up on Belden's website), I see a max operating voltage of 1400V
(and the 50V rating as well.. for UL uses, but that's a sort of bogus
number, designed to fit in a particular regulatory category.. kind of
like ICs with TID limits of 300kRad, the limit for non-export controlled
datasheets)
