Hi Kerry, Assuming that you have 60Hz power and are using a static gap - the optimal value for your capacitor would be ~ .008uF. The thinking now is that the cap value should be higher than the mains-resonant value - Larger Than Resonant, or LTR. See http://www.classictesla.com/hot-streamer/temp/MMCcapSales.gif So you actually want to use just 13 of your caps to arrive at .0077uF Regards, Gary Lau MA, USA On Tue, May 26, 2015 at 9:10 AM, Kerry Soileau <kerrys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hey guys just a quick question for my MMC bank.
