Hi coilers,

After having assembled my new MMC I checked out the capacity 
of each string in order to monitor possible changes in the future. 16 
caps 100 nF connected in series (each of them paralelled by a 10 
MOhm bleeder) resulted in 7.0 nF. Strange, because the caps are 
tolerated +- 5%. I checked a single cap and the meter showed 150 
nF. I disconnected the bleeder and found the capacity to be 100 
nF. Correct! I used other type of meters and got different results.

Obviously the measured capacitance is dependent on the value of 
the bleeder and the meter's measuring method. So watch out!
