Hi Has anyone had any experience good or bad, using microwave oven capacitors (approx 1mf, 2000v) in series for a tank cap in a Tesla Coil?Cheers Andrew Buxton Noobie Kiwi
Not what you want.Too much capacitance, designed as a DC filter capacitor (at line frequency, 50-60 Hz) and has very high loss at the several hundred kHz in a tesla coil.
