Re: [TCML] Need new cap(s) for my coil

Hi Brandon,
 
In a word, No. Wiring the 4 caps in series divides the effective  
capacitance by 4. you would need 4 strings in parallel of 4 caps each to  have the 
same total capacitance of 0.015 uF at 40KV. If the formula:
 
1/Ctot= 1/C1+1/C2+1/C3 +..... doesn't look familiar to you, then you really 
 need to get some more basic theory under your belt before proceeding.
 
Stay Safe,
 
Matt D.

I'm  running a 15/30 NST. the recommended capacitor farad rating for that 
is  0.015uF. I've found this capacitor; 0.015uF 10,000V Film Capacitor  
(http://www.tedss.com/MPE11H-.015-10000-10/). Could I wire 4 of these in  series 
to get a total voltage rating of 40,000V ( 2.6 times the NST output  
voltage) and still have a 0.015uF capacitance  rating?
Thanks,
Brandon
