In Reply to: series capacitors posted by vyju on January 26, 2007 at 03:15:53:
The idea is to force the caps to share the voltage equally. Without parallel Rs, they will share according to their leakage resistance.If they both (assuming only 2 caps) have the same resistance there will be no problem, but how to know or measure their leakage resistance? Difficult without special equipment as the effective R can be very high indeed, especially with dialectrics like teflon or polyprop.
I always try to calculate a value which has minimum effect on the circuit in question, but which is clearly much lower than the effective leakage resistance. Something like 10megohms will usualy do the trick.
