Re: **Does anyone have CDE 942 series (or similar) capacitors? - MMC Voltage



Original poster: Kidd6488@xxxxxxx

I didn't see anyone else point this out; excuse me if someone did. But 18kV MMC is not sufficient. The capacitors should be rated above the peak voltage of your NST which is

SQRT(2) * NST voltage

1.414 * 15,000 = 21,210 volts.

Unless I'm wrong, your MMC should be rated at at least 22kV. Just trying to help save your monet ;-)
