Lots of apps notes about voltage sharing - not limited to the one I originally referred to.
For example

Or

Everyone seems to use different formulae. But then again there are a dozen or more formulae for the maximum heart rate as a function of age - and for me at age 56 they all predict the same +/- 1 beat per minute.
And if you are (say) using two 350V capacitors in series across a 600V supply, do you need balancing resistors? I would say so. They also handily discharge the capacitors after switch-off.
