I have a question about sizing of a capacitor. My power supply is a
NST 15kV at 30mA. I originally planned on using 10 doorknob
capacitors which are rated at 30kV with 0.006 uF total(each was 620
pF). However I have a question about the needed capacitance for my
TC. Most of the references such as websites and calculators said
that I need .0053 but I see people saying you need .008-.009 uF.
What size is correct?
What will happen if I use my current capacitor setup?
I would like to use my current setup to save money. The wife has
about had it with the TC as it is . J
Thanks,
Dirk
