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?

Thanks,
Marko
