Yes, they can be daisy chained to help fire the next one. That’s what I’m looking at as a workaround for utility scale installations with nearly 1,000 cores so that 1 cap pulse only has to return to the cap bank if the whole array were to shut down for some reason. The reason for this is that this type of cap (at least on the General Atomics site) has a lousy design life of less than a million charge/ discharge cycles.
