[TCML] My last question on caps. I swear. (maybe)

["Nicholas J. Goble" <ngoble@xxxxxxx>]

With a 9/30 NST  I found my LTR capacitance to be .0124uF. (right?).  I 
placed an order for 13 (1 more just in case I need an extra) 
942C20P15K-F caps.  They're rated at 2000VDC and .15uF.  If I string 
them together in series, I'll get an MMC at 24000 Volts and .0125uF.  
Two things worry me.

1).  The website says that it's rated for 2000VDC.  I'm not using 
direct current.  There's a link to a data sheet for the caps and it 
says that the voltage range is 600-2000 VDC or 300-500 VAC.  If I 
series 12 of these together, will I get an MMC rated at 24000 VDC and 
only 6000VAC?  Does this mean that I've got to string 48 caps to get an 
MMC that will work at 24000VAC?  Or will 12 2000VDC caps work just fine?

2).  The website shows a picture of the caps.  On the side of the caps, 
it says it's rated .15MFD.  Why would it say that?  I thought 
942C20P15K-F caps were rated at .15uF.  This isn't a huge concern of 
mine, but it's making me worry about my purchase.

Thanks for putting up with me.
