Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi Keith,If you already have the 2 Maxwells on hand, then use them. Performance is really not the issue with MMC's. They do perform well, but so do Maxwells and other professional pulse caps from other manufacturers. MMC's do offer a better scenario when something goes wrong. I use both. I use a few 60KV pulse caps from CSI (p/n 60N468S) which always stay cool, have never had a problem with, and perform excellent. I also use MMC's for coils. Both do well. If you have them, use them.
Take care, Bart Tesla list wrote:
Original poster: Keith Garvin <jeutg@xxxxxxxxx> Hello all - I been coiling since '97 but was out of the jist of things while working for the past four years and now getting back into it. I have a couple Maxwell caps .03uf, 35Kv I got about five years ago before moving and work taking over too much of my life... MMC banks seem to be the thing to do now and I was wondering: are there are any benefits, other than the cost/availability, between using an MMC bank or my two Maxwell caps in serries. Regards and thanks in advance! Keith
