Ceramin Caps
I've been reading the list for about 6 months and decided on finally
building my first coil.
I've been rat-holing pices and parts for a while and have gotten a
couple FITS (Furnace Ignition Transformers) at 10KVAC 30mA (I have 4)
and a MOT (I think 2KVAC -at-500mA).
I'm also looking for a pole pig and any other parts.
The main thing keeping me from actually starting has been the Caps.
I don't want to spend a fortune on buying one only to destroy it in a
matter of hours, and I don't want to invest a week or two in rolling
my own only to detonate it in a couple minutes.
I have found a source for Ceramic Disk Caps rated .001UF -at- 10KV
(Matsushita # ECK-D4A102MDA) and can get 100 for $80.
Here's the rub....
How many do I need?
How do I assemble them?
How many, of what kind, of Transformer do I wire up and how?
I want something that will take serious abuse while I learn the
basics. I don't mind way overenginneering the individual components
even if it will cost more to do it.
I have all the time in the world to sit and solder little cap leads
as long as I know it will work and last for quite a while.
I know all you guys out here have been doing this for years and I
trust your advice implicitly. Anything you may have to add about
other places to start (secondary size/type, primary specs, whatever..)
is greatly appreciated. I'm a Geek, not a God, and I have a lot to
learn. Please help, thanks.
