Re: MMC Cap question

Hi Jeff !
I built a MMC with 2,2nF-at-8kV DC ceramic caps.I put three in a
string,increasing the voltage to 24 kV.The power supply is 7.5 kV AC - the
same as 11 kV DC.You simply calculate twice the input voltage (for DC).When
the caps get too hot,just put a fan over 'em.This works !
