Re: option 1 or option 2.....

you want to use the 942c series, the 940c series will not survive
tesla coil duty.

Hi again, since i am using ALL my money to buy caps i need to
choose wisely...  which one would you guys recommend: (i am using a
10KV 23mA OBIT by the way = 6.1nF resonance)

Option one:  5984-940C30S1K-F Cornell Dubilier 3KVDC 0.01uF  5
strings of 8 pcs each:
                                       40 caps for total of 6.25nF.
(x50) 1.23 each for total of $61.50

Option two:  5984-940C30S47K-F Cornell Dubilier 3KVDC 0.047  2
strings of 12 pcs each:
                                      24 caps for total of 7.8nF.
(x25) 2.00 each for total of $50.00

or should i just scrap both those options and go for far larger
than resonance?  i am of a strictly tight budget.  thanks for all
the help and hopefully i will finish my first coil within the 6
months ive been working on it.

p.s.  why is the voltage of the entire MMC (3KV * 8 = 24000  /   5
strings = 4800V??) only 4800 volts when the peak voltage of the
xfrm is 14140V?
thanks
