Has anyone used microwave oven capacitors for their primary MMC??
If so how did they fare?
Terrible..
MO capacitors are designed to filter line frequency (50-60 Hz) and
have high losses at 100kHz sort of TC frequencies. They also
typically have a bleeder resistor across them that's on the order of 1
Meg, so you have a loss there too.
But it's the terrible high frequency performance that makes them
unsuitable.
