Re: [TCML] Need capacitors

There are these little caps from IU aka amazing1 .15ufd at 2KVAC Metallized Polypropylene Film Foil Capacitor
I tried these 4 years ago and let the magic smoke out of a couple…(I think I was short one or two) for my 12kV primaries.
If allowed I can post the info sent to me a week or so ago.
