Nov 2, 2015 at 20:15 comment added grantr I used a 15kv power supply running off of 2 aa batteries with low output current to charge these caps. That works fine. I purposely fried those caps trying to get more out of them. I knew it was likely to happen before I heard the magic pop. The question I need to know is will the MOT connected directly to the caps burn them up when the power is switched on? I know the voltage output will not exceed the voltage rating of my caps.
