Hi Robert,

I dont think so :-(

For a say 9kV transformer you would need to put about 12 in series.  That
divides 100pF by 12 to give 8.33pF or 0.00833nF per string.  To get say 8.33 nF
you would need 1000 strings!!  Even though the voltage is high, the small
capacitance is just too small.

Cheers,

        Terry
