Hi Rick,

While the voltage rating is good, the cap itself is almost three times bigger than what is needed f\\to balance the size of your NST. Try getting familar with the Javatc design program (see link below) to get a feel for how your system will operate with appropriate size components.

Hello, 
 have recently become interested in building a small Tesla coil. The only part 
hat I have purchased to date has been a used 15kV, 30ma NST. For the capacitor, 
 am considering the purchase of a used oil filled GE Pulse Discharge Capacitor, 
odel 17L9PH, rated at 50kVDC, .043uF. Can someone tell if this is the right 
ap, or is there more suitable cap either homemade or purchased to match my 
ower supply? The GE cap is a bit expensive at $125 plus shipping, but I wonder 
f it offers better performance than a homemade version. Thanks for any help 
hat you can provide.
