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
