I should have given the physical size of the caps. They are 4 x 4 1/2 x 9
inches. They are much larger than the de-fib caps shown on the Aerovox page. I
think they came from some university lab surplus. Pulse Laser maybe? I will
probably have some of them at Puyallup hamfest.

Hi Dan:
They are defib caps. At least one manufacturer said they should not be used at
more than 2/3 of the rated voltage for continuous use. Hams regularly use them
with those ratings. I use a pair decades ago in a voltage doubling circuit.
The voltage was 4 KV, divided among the two caps. The amp is still running
flawlessly.
