Re: MMC cap bank

Hi Ken,

150nF at 60Hz 2000Vp-p will draw 80mA.  It would be best to run them in 
parallel as you say.  Then you could time them all and have 5 data 
points.  Needs a 1500V 400mA transformer to run 5 caps.  Not sure if a MOT 
would just overheat...  Would take 600VA to run it!

Cheers,

         Terry
