results in much higher rms currents than would be expected from their
capacitance and applied voltage.
All capacitors can be connected in series or parallel for higher volt-
ages or capacitances. They may be freely paralleled, but series con-
nections may require the use of a voltage-sharing resistor connected
in parallel with each capacitor. Film types operated on AC circuits
may not require sharing resistors for series operation, but resistors are
required if DC voltage components are present. Without sharing resis-
tors, the DC voltage will distribute in proportion to the highly variable
leakage resistances. Sharing resistors must have a resistance low
enough to swamp out the leakage resistance variations to a sufficient
degree ...
