Jon, Hmm ... I think you might want to dig up your old first year electronics texts ... :-)
Please note that the spec is in Coulombs, not Farads (45 uC, not 45 uF). Capacitance (in Farads) is measured in Coulombs/Volt. > Can't you do more "work" with 45uC at 14.9kV ( = 4995 Joules) then you > can with 45 uC at 100 V ( = 0.225 Joules)? More work means more > burns, more fire, more harm. 45uC at 14.9kV = .335 Joules 45 uC at 100 V = 0.00225 Joules Energy hazards are usually a concern above 20 J, so a few mJ don't really matter much. > And why 45uC? Why not? :-) Happy New Year! Egon Varju
