your 9KV xformer with a pair of diodes will give you 18KV (standard
1/2 wave doubler circuit) which you apply to third cap, measure
leakage with milliampmeter.

offer to the tesla coil commuity - there is a nice listserv for tesla
coilers (you'll need to search it out, I subscribed so long ago I
don't remember how I found it) - try pumpan.com since that's where
the list gets sent out.

suitable diodes are in a Microwave oven, just put two in series

22 KV is not particularly high, but as others have pointed out, you
can get a pretty nasty shock -

there is also a tesla ring - follow it

Anyway, here is my question. I have a 9 kV DC power supply. (a
Franceformer). How can I safely test these caps before selling
them.
