New MMC has MASSIVE issues
Original poster: "JT Bowles" <jasotb@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Hi, remember me saying i am creating a new MMC, rated double my previous cap?
I did that!, and it is closer to matching my NST also.
BUT HERES THE ISSUE:
*If I look carefully I can see dielectric breakdown on 2 of 12
capacitors, while in use
*The Mylar heats up fast
*My MMC randomly sparks from one capacitor to another. Sometimes it
wont do this at all.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE! when I had an 18KV rated MMC, and it gradually
broke down. But when i inserted my new MMC, rated 36KV, the MMC began
to degrade faster than my old one.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!!!!?
Wow, i just want a working MMC.
Any solid ideas as to why this is happening, terry? It really is very
dissappointing.

Good day great coilers,
I am parting out this 900 watt spark gap coil and even the 60ma/15kv
transformer (less than 1 hour run time) @
http://users.cableaz.com/~chooper/800watt_1200.htm. The only item I am
not selling is the top load as Dave at D&M High voltage does not make
them anymore and they are rare. Terry Blake bought one on my plexy
primary and loved it. I have a lot of love and care into this coil from
the low pass filter to the tank to the secondary and just want what I
have in it. Why you ask, it is Steve Ward's fault, as he introduced me
to Solid State a few years ago and never run my spark gap coils any
more. Even the control panel is for sale as my next project is a 200 amp
x 240 volt DRSSTC and those CM6OO IGBT's are not cheap even on ebay.
Hope these parts can go to a loving home as they need a special place to
live.
Rgs,
christopher
