There isn't anything new here regarding these caps for HV filters : they've
been used by amateurs for years. There are several home brew amps around
here that have used these caps without incidence since I first laid eyes on
them 16 years ago. Peter Dahl makes his own version (50-something uF, 5
KV) and it's been featured in a couple of ARRL Handbook amplifier
projects. I used a pair of 100 uF/3600V oil filled caps (in series) in my
last 4-1000 supply.
