Can someone tell me if a .005M/10KVAC CAP is large enough to use with a 9KV/.03 XFMR?

The first link on a Google search for "tesla calculator is Link2

Its a tad small using the first calculator but the real question is what kind of capacitor is it? Any pictures?

It is a cylindrical CAP made by Condenser Products; Nop502-10ES /0.005 MFD 10000 V. Pulse. I bought it from Information Unlimited.

The XFMR shown is not the one in question.

Ok before I build a series of MMC's would I have a less chance of killing this one if I wired two of them in series?

Yes, assuming it died form overvoltage spikes - thats the most likely cause unless it was getting really hot - I don't know what the dielectric is in those caps . . .
