Hi All, I have to use 4KV line to ground capacitor for safety,and,due to some design restrictions,i planned to use two 2KV capacitor in series. My question is,Can we add the Dielectric Strength of the capacitor connected in series and consider them as cumulative.? We usually apply 'Kirchhoff Voltage Law' to calculate the total Voltage,can we apply the same for Dielectric strength? -- bala ------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from si-list: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field or to administer your membership from a web page, go to: //www.freelists.org/webpage/si-list For help: si-list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'help' in the Subject field List forum is accessible at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/si-list List archives are viewable at: //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list Old (prior to June 6, 2001) list archives are viewable at: http://www.qsl.net/wb6tpu
