Seth:
I built my MMC using 100, .047mF/1600 Seacor caps. They were 20 in series
with 10M ohm 1/2w 5% carbon film resistors across each. Then 5 perf boards
of 20 were in parallel to give a total of .0117 at 32KV.
I run a 15/60 on it and even with extended runs, none of the caps get even
warm!

Subject: MMC voltage rating for 15/60NST (fwd)

I am thinking of building a LTR MMC capacitor for a 15/60 NST.

What voltage rating should I aim for to make it reliable? I don't want
strings failing and costing me more money.

Also, are standard 1/4W 5% carbon film resistors suitable for MMC use?

Thanks,
Seth Fischer
