Re: Maxwell

Rich,

As far as I know, all the 31xxx caps were rated at 1 PPS.  Now, there are
several ratings to consider, the first being voltage.  If you are
seriously underrating the voltage (like a 12 kV NST on that cap) you
shouldn't have too much of a problem running it at 120 bps, say.  Just be
careful of heating, and don't make your primary too small (lower
inductance and higher peak current).

FWIW, I got some Maxwell spec sheets a while back from someone on the
TCML, and I've put them on my webserver: http://64.198.215.215/maxwell/
NOW, I'd appreciate it if everyone didn't just go download those for the
heck of it, 'cause I have a limited BW - 600 MB daily.  Thanks!

I have come across a Maxwell capacitor and I can not find out if it
would be OK for coil use.  The label says type "31242", it is
.15uF, .02uH  100Kv , in a long plastic case. I don't want to blow it up
if it is not suitable. It would only be used for short runs.
