Has anyone used microwave oven capacitors for their primary MMC??
If so how did they fare?
Terrible..
MO capacitors are designed to filter line frequency (50-60 Hz) and have
high losses at 100kHz sort of TC frequencies. They also typically have
a bleeder resistor across them that's on the order of 1 Meg, so you have
a loss there too.
But it's the terrible high frequency performance that makes them unsuitable.
