Subject: [TCML] Watch your Caps!
All,
The Cornell-Dubilier's 942C20P15K-F capacitors have long become
something of a stalwart for Tesla Coil use, however they are not totally
immune to damage!

This came about by running my 200bps synchronous coil with the phase
setting badly out - this was being done to simulate running as 100bps.
The cap string was rated at 36KV, and while that voltage rating has been
adequate for the last 6 years or so when running at 200bps, it most
likely proved too low for my latest 100bps antics; the experiment being
the 'final straw that broke the camel's back'. Lesson learnt.
Regards Phil
