Hi Bob,
I hope so, it will be a 200pF unit in parallel with 6000 pF total
capacitance. It should experience 200/6000 or 3.3% of the total current. Total
current should be 30 amps, I'm asking the doorknob to handle 1 amp. The HT-57
doorknob I plan on using is rated for 15 amps (though I'm not sure what
frequency the 15 amp rating applies to). Time will tell!
