Re: [TCML] Found a cap on ebay

["drieben" <drieben@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael,

Yes, I agree. This cap seems pretty small for its total
energy rating and MOST 31xxx series Maxwells are
desinged for low rep pulse service (1 pps). However,
I did have the fortune to come across some cat # 31915
Maxwells on eBay a few years ago that were rated at .1
ufd, @ 75 kV. I assume these are also desinged for low
rep pulse duty but this cap has worked fantastically in my
Green Monster 15 kVA Tesla system without a hitch . Of
course, it's also a bit physically larger than the #31435 unit
that you pointed out - 4" x 6" x 20" tall and tipping the
scales at nearly 19 lbs. Haven't come across any more of
these in a while, though, at least none that didn't have a
$600 or more opening bid. :^/

0,15 µF/65 kV, MAXWELL HIGH VOLTAGE, PULSE CAPACITOR,cat. # 31435. He wants 
$220 for it. Does anyone have info on this unit. Seems physically small for 
this rating. May not hold up well? . Found some posts on pupman that say 
'size matters'
Re: Maxwell capacitor question

Also maybe some useful spreadsheets. I know someone on the list once had a 
maxwell spreadsheet listing many caps, this maybe it;
