MMC (Multi Maxwell Capacitors)



Original poster: Yurtle Turtle <yurtle_t@xxxxxxxxx>

I currently have ten Maxwell 37667 35 kV 30 nF caps.
I'm currently running five strings of two with a
busbar connecting the outsides and the middle:

|         |
|-||-|-||-|
|    |    |
|-||-|-||-|
|    |    |
|-||-|-||-|
|    |    |
|-||-|-||-|
|    |    |
|-||-|-||-|
|         |

Tolerances are pretty close, but not perfect. Should I
try to place all lower capacitance caps on one side
and all higher capacitance caps on the other, or
eliminate the middle busbar and try to mix and match
each string to get as close to 15 nF per string as
possible.

In other words for illustration:

|         |
|29.5|30.1|
|29.4|30.0|
|29.6|30.1|
|29.3|30.2|
|29.6|29.8|
|         |

or

|         |
|29.3-30.2|
|29.4-30.1|
|29.5-30.1|
|29.6-30.0|
|29.6-29.8|
|         |

thanks
