Can I place the “high potential” side of a Type S or SS capacitor directly on a ground plane to minimize inductance?
This is not recommended. As is the case in many high voltage insulation systems, it is best to use multiple layers of insulation, rather than rely on a single, thick layer such as the plastic case of the capacitor. It is common practice to use multiple layers of polyester (e.g. DuPont Mylar) or polypropylene sheet between the capacitor case and adjacent conductors or capacitors.
