do i need more caps for my pt coil?



Original poster: Beans45601-at-aol-dot-com 

I am currently running my pt coil with a 14.4 KV 1.5KVA with a 3450 RPM 6" 
disk, with a 8 electrodes. MY cap system is 2 strings of 11 .15UF at 2000 
volts each. Last night, I was running my coil, and one of my resistors 
blew, and the cap it was across was hot (this cap was on the end of a 
string). Am I overvolting my caps? Or is this just one of things that happen?

thanks
Adam
