Re: MMC setup



Hi Arthur,

I like the setup #1.  I think you may need more than two strings but it is hard
to be sure.  You may have 17 amps RMS in the primary which would be on the edge
for just two strings.  I think #1 should be bullet proof.  However, you may be
able to go up to 13 or 14nF of primary capacitance if you have a sync rotary
and such at 120 BPS so you may want to leave room for future expansion.

Cheers,

        Terry
