Michael,


Air breaks down at about 20v/mil (.001) so for 12000 volts you need
spacing of a least .6 inches.

i.e., you need a BIG capacitor. Most editions of the ARRL Handbook have
this info.

What spacing do I need between
capacitor plates (air dielectric) for

12000 volts and where can I find tables for this stuff?


Thanks!

Michael
