Re: [TCML] Sec design trade-offs and considerations

[Mddeming@xxxxxxx]

Hi Chris,
 
Every capacitive device has a small amount of inductance and resistance.  
Likewise, every inductive device has a small amount of capacitance and  
resistance. Therefore, every such component has a frequency at which its XL  = -XC. If 
the resistance is negligible, the component will tend to oscillate at  this 
frequency.
 
Hope this helps,
 
Matt D.

Hi  Paul,

Not sure what you are getting at with self res freq ? I don't  know what it 
is and doubt I would be able to measure it. The caps are  supposed to have 
zero L&R though think that's a bit of a lie in the  datasheet as they must 
have *some*.

They are all flat plate caps,  over 200 of them in parallel. Any problems 
there would probably be self  inflicted with all the wiring, though they are 
fixed between 2 large  sheets of copper sheet and all kept as physically 
close as possible. I can  send you some images off list if needs  be.
