Greetings,
New coiler here, hoping to find some aid.
I have a 15K/30mA NST which I am building an MMC for.
Given LTR of 1.5* I have come up with a match in the range of .008mF
I have had trouble finding HV caps in the lower Farad range. (Any current
suggestions would be greatly appreciated).
I have found some Cornel Dubilier (940C30S47K) "Snubber Capacitors" that
look like they will work. They are not on Terry's known Bad Caps list. They
are rated at 3kv .047mF
If I have done my math properly, I only need six of these in series to get a
capacitance of .00783mF (which is in my LTR range) and a voltage of 18,000v
(which exceeds my NST voltage)
This seems small and cheap compared to what others seem to need regularly.
Is it just that my coil is one of the smaller ones out there? Or have I made
some egregious error?
Your input is golden. Thank you.
