Hello all
I am building my first coil using a NST 15kv/30mA. With all the
research, I have been seeing people use these MMC capacitor arrays
but I have a question. Usually all these capacitors, that coilers are
using are DC rated but isn't there supply voltage AC? Does this
affect the capacitor?
I know from my some of my other little projects involving DC(5-12V)
that reversing the polarity on a cap results in failure.
Thanks,
Dirk
