8300 volts at 0.5 Amps is 4200 Watts per xmfr x 4 xmfrs = 16,800 Watts.
First, your MOTs usually can not run wide open. Best to ballast each MOT at
around 16 Amps each. This provides 120 x 16 Amps x 4 xmfrs = 7,680 Watts.
I have cores for cheap MOT ballasting --- contact me off-list and I can
advise on this.
7.68 kVA would only require approx 0.1 uF max but you could survive with a
.07 to .09 uF range cap for good performance. 0.4177 is too much cap for
the xmfr. I run my Big Bruiser at 26 kVA, pole xmfr powered, and it tunes
fine with a 0.3 uF cap. This coil is 24 inch dia with a 10 ft dia. mesh
toroid. 0.4 uF is way too much for your system.

I am putting together a 6" coil with 4 MOT power supply and a 120 bps sync
rotary gap. I would like to run the mots wide open (no ballast). I
estimated 8400 V .5A for the transformer output. For the MMC, JavaTC is
saying I need .4117uf for LTR! That seems huge to me. I have 60 of the 942's
for 5 strings of 12 right now, and I planned on doubling that to get to
.1249uf before I get it up and running, but that is still less than
resonant. I could probably swing another 84 caps to get to 12 x 12 for a
just about resonant cap, but 336 more caps for the .4117uf value is a little
out of my price range right now. Is it so important to run larger than
resonant cap with a mot driven srg coil? The mots are under oil, if that
matters. Any suggestions?
