Re: [TCML] Capacitors

I'm confused.  I think you said that you have ten 1250V/.022uF caps in your
MMC?  Putting these ten caps in series would give you a .0022uF/12,500V
cap.  I don't know that there's any way to wire these ten caps to yield a
.0047uF/16000V array.

For a 10kV/23mA OBIT, the mains-resonant cap value would be .006uF, so a
good LTR cap value for use with a static gap would be roughly .01uF.

To work with the peak voltage from your OBIT, 14kV, you would need to string
11-12 of your 1250V caps, say 12.  Twelve .022uF caps in a string would give
you .0018uF.  You would need about five 12-long strings of your caps to
achieve the recommended value (60 caps total).
