--Previous Message-- I just thought I would write about the RF ground... there isn't hardly any info online about them from what I found. However, you can use some sort of large, flat piece of metal on the floor, this has worked for me at least. I used a scanner lid and covered the flat part with foil, and sat it on the floor. This worked almost as good as my earth ground. You are correct on the construction of an MMC, that it is a bunch of caps in strings (series) with the strings in paralell. Make sure and buy pulse-rated caps. I haven't built an MMC myself so I am probably not the most knowledgable in this field.... Bleeder resistors are just for your own safety definitely a good idea. =Rockinriley14=
: Hi Bert!
: I have almost completed my 1st TC except for the tank cap. & the RF
: groung. I was considering building a saltwater cap to get 0.0065 uF but one
: of my friends advised me to build an MMC. I have read that MMCs are simply
: dielectric caps joined in series & parallel. Is that right? Also, what
: are bleeder resistors? Are they required? Should I just ask for dielectric
: caps at elec. shops?
: I live non the 5th floor and thus the RF ground is a problem. Is it really
: nesessary? Is there an alternative? My system is 15kV@30mA NST powered.
: Thanks in advance!!
