I'm looking to use MOT caps rated around 2300v AC as DC filter caps for a DC
based coil.
You would not believe how hard it is to find HV caps in NZ of 3uF to 6uF
10kv wkg. 5 Yrs ago a glut as old high power TV and MF xmitters changed to
SS. Mostly dumped or sent back to mfr ( due pcb's)
One that I have notes its Test Voltage was 10kv.
Has anybody experience with just how far I can take a MOT cap in DC filter
service. My guess is about 6kV DC for short period (1 min or so) is probably
OK
FWIW The system is to be 3 MOTS per side rectified for Plus and minus 8kV
into 50 Hy or so and ASRSG up to 200bps with 90nF of Tank Cap
Tnx
