Kreso,

I don't want to appear to be a salesman or anything like that, this is just 
something to think about.  But here's the deal: a 19x4 array of MMCs is the 
resonant size capacitor for a 10kV/100mA transformer (.0316uF).  It has a 
rating of 38kV, and will survive 75kV overvoltages without flinching.  he 
current rating is high - 1600A peak, 35A RMS.  That's only 76 capacitors, 
US$228.  I will personally garantee this capacitor will not fail due being 
under-designed.  If it does fail in a manner that is not attributed to bad 
construction, I will personally buy back the entire MMC from you, including 
all shipping costs.  You have that in writing in front of 1000 plus witnesses.

Cheers!
