Hi folks,

In many texts on the list archives I see that it is good to use low
value caps going from each HV terminal of the neons to the ground as
protection against kickbacks etc. these i guess have to be rated above
the 15 kV of the neons, my question is .... where does one get these
from? Have people made them or are they commercially available?

The highest voltage rating caps I can get are 15000v from RS or Farnell
components.

Matt.
