Re: Capacitor Size



Original poster: "D.C. Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxx>



best performance is with .008 --- period!! .0053 may resonate with your power xmfr and you risk blowing it out.

I have a question about sizing of a capacitor. My power supply is a NST 15kV at 30mA. I originally planned on using 10 doorknob capacitors which are rated at 30kV with 0.006 uF total(each was 620 pF). However I have a question about the needed capacitance for my TC. Most of the references such as websites and calculators said that I need .0053 but I see people saying you need .008-.009 uF.

What size is correct?


What will happen if I use my current capacitor setup?



I would like to use my current setup to save money. The wife has about had it with the TC as it is . J




Thanks, Dirk
