Check out this dealer on Ebay. He has some very large motor run caps for a great price that should work well as PFC caps.

As for the for 240 VAC plug, you could run the one 120 60ma NST in series with the 2 120 30ma NSTs in series. All 3 would get 120v and both series would draw 60ma.

Well the list has been quiet lately, so I will break the silence!
I finally got my second TC up and running and getting some decent sparks. I
still need to do quite a bit of optimizing, but seeing 4 foot sparks,
smelling ozone, and hearing the crackle is a welcome change in my garage.

Right now the coil is running on a 15/60 and a 15/30 NSTs in parallel. I
have anther 15/30 that I want to add to the mix, but I am concerned about
amp draw. My needle is swinging past 20amps now (breaker did not trip), but
20a is a lot for a standard outlet. I need some PFC caps. Where is the best
place to get them?
I do have 240VAC in my garage, and I also seem to recall on old post by
Richard Quick stating you could run NST's from 240VAC if you put their
primaries in series. I am guessing this is great if you have two identical
NSTs. I wonder if it is possible to do this in a series/parallel gang for
my 15/60 and 15/30's (where it is 60ma on each hot side)?
Thanks,
