Jim,
From your question, it sounds like you definitely need to get some
basic electronics under your belt BEFORE you tackle any high
voltage circuits.You might check out this site:

For n Capacitors in SERIES 1/C(tot)= 1/C1 + 1/C2 +1/C3+......+1/Cn
If they are all equal, then C(tot)= C/n
Thus 0.15/16 = 0.009
You will be dealing with devices that can be LETHAL, and no one here
wants you to be a casualty.
