Also, because the salt caps would be wired in parallel then the peak
current would not be limited by the transmission line effects of a
MMC string. I think the pulse produced by a HV salt cap would be
better than an MMC. Has anyone tried salt caps at higher
voltage/energies? When do they start to break down?
Thanks

It all depends on the quality of the glass. Mass produced glass
containers frequently contain microscopic entrained air bubbles which
expand upon local heating. The is one of the main causes of glass cap failures.
