Terry's Panasonic .056uf x 1600V. These are very good MMC caps!

Hi I have 6 rows of these in strings of 16 on perf PCB, 3/ side that gives
you 16*1600v, ea or 25.6kv peak voltage, all with bleeds. One side would
give you, (.056/16)*3= .0105uf or ~ .02uf both sides... you need more
transformers for that.. 2 strings would maybe better at .056/16 * 2= .007
uf, closer to your mark. These have seen very little use and are ready for
connection. I made some very nice sparks off of these.

They would allow you to "scale up" later which never ends:-)if you get the
fever. Contact me off list for very reasonable prices.

Thanks! For the price, I cant go too wrong here. I had planned on
testing them in the tank circuit, for really short bursts. I always
can use my iced tea bottle caps as a fallback. After reading quite a
bit, I was figguring on somwhere close to .008uf as well.

Hi,

For a 15/30 NST you want the capacitance to be around 0.008uF so your
5 x 2 string idea should be fine.  I have no idea how well these caps
will work but just try it and see.  15/30 NSTs go pretty easy on caps
so you might get them to work.  I think the voltage will be fine but
the current is the worry.  If they quickly get warm or hot you might
as well stop there.

Cheers,

          Terry
