Thanks everyone for the replies re MMC.  It appears to be an area which
continues to provoke differences in opinion.  So, to stoke the fire
again.  If you are looking at a 2 series MOT with voltage doubler that
is producing 13000 V peak (pulsed DC) can I use the capacitor DC rating
or is there a hidden complication somewhere?

Also, as I will be building a new MMC utilising my WIMA 68 nF, 1600 VDC,
650 VAC with 9 per string and 4 strings for 30 nF (1.9 x resonance) is
there a problem with producing a circuit board to mount them as they
only have short leads (~5mm)?

The above MMC should also be suitable for the above MOT power supply re
voltage, but, what level of capacitance would I be looking at?  Of
course I could make 2 MMC's such as when I decide to go to a MOT supply
(probably if my NST gives up) I can run the 2 in parallel.

Cheers, Chris.
