Re: [TCML] pulse cap specs

[bartb <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hope you got my off-list message prior to buying these eBay Maxwells?

The 37667 Maxwell is a known BAD Maxwell at TC duty due to 1 pulse per 
second rating. No good for our coils. Many have tried and died.

As far as series/parallel. Caps in parallel add C and their voltage 
ratings remain the same for each cap. If you series say two caps, their 
voltage rating is the sum of both and their capacitance divides.

Example:

2 caps (10kV, 20nF) in parallel = 10kV at 40nF.
2 caps (10kV, 20nF) in series = 20kV at 10nF.

Take care,
Bart
