Hi Mark

I thought I was coming to grips with MMC's :-)

I'm guesing you are meaning adding 25% more voltage in non-nst coils.
So if one was to use a two series mot with voltage doubler (eg 2kv/mot,
giving ~12kv pulsed DC) what sort of total voltage per string would you
tend to recommend?  Or would you simply divide by the individual
capacitor DC rating as long as there is a safety gap?

Cheers, Chris (NZ).

Fine....  if you really want to use RELL....  (see previous "CD cap MMC"
post)

Static gap, SRSG, ARSG?  Ballast type and value?  PSU output filter
("Terry
Filter")?

I generally recommend adding about 25% or more to the margin in non-NST
coils, and would argue that a cap rated for 16kV with a 11kV PDT is too
low.  18kV would be minimum IMO.  Bigger caps, within reason, are
generally
better.
