I have several 470pF @ 15kV RF doorknob caps that have a 40kbap rating.
Seller says the kbap markings are the same as our kvar.

How do I calculate the maximum RF current these can handle?

Is this the correct formula? (assuming they are well within their frequency
rating.)

*I = kvar x 1000 / Vrms x 1.73   *

I would guess then put three in parallel, to reduce the current to a third in each.
