Hi Chris,

If you match the impedance of your NST ( whichequals 12000/.03) by using the equation:

C = 1/(2*pi*f*Xc) you will have C =1/(2*3014159*60*12000/.03) and get 6.63nF. If you use this, youcan cause a resonant rise of voltage in your NST and possibly fryit. The value of 10nF, or 0.01uF will ensure your cap can takeall the energy from the transformer safely for the transformer. Ifyou use both of the caps you were talking about (.1uF and .03uF) inseries, you'd still have .02uF. You can make that work. you willjust have a lower gap voltage and unless you have a LOT of turns onyour secondary, it could prove harder to tune. Still not that big a deal.

Mike
