Hi group,

If a string of caps in series have different voltage ratings, do the ratings add, or does the voltage add evenly across each cap? In other words, if the string has one 20kv cap and four 1.5kv caps with 25kv across the string, does each cap see 5kv and the 1.5kv's blow, or does the rating of the string equal 26kv and everything
is fine?
If the 20kv is 0.05mfd and the four 1.5kv are 0.5mfd, then the 20kv will see 10x the volts the 1.5kv? Will this work?
Thanks again
Marko
if my math is correct, the 1.5kv caps will each see 1786 volts, so i guess im cutting it close once again....
Thanks,
Marko
