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

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


Adding strings in parallel doesn't decrease the voltage rating. So your MMC is rated for 24kVDC which is expensive and overkill unless you're intending to put hundreds of hours on it. Generally good MMC caps can be used at a tank circuit voltage equal to the DC rating, although you can get away with over-running them even more than that!
