Safely testing 22 kV capacitors
Why not keep them and start trying to shink coins?
http://205.243.100.155/frames/shrinkergallery.html This site has been recently edited to take out most of the technical details. I suspect it was a bit too dangerous for the average user.

See http://igor.chudov.com/tmp/cap.jpg The seller was wrong in describing them as 22 VOLT capacitors. They are 22 KILO volt capacitors. (the seller is Fermilab). They are similar to this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7598631638 but have twice more capacitance. 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. At 22 kV, they can store about as much energy as a .22 bullet, according to my calculations. It would be less at 9 kV, but still, obviously, very deadly. So. What is a safe way to charge them, verify that they hold the charge, and then DIScharge them at 9 kV. i |
