I have always been told to not use energy storage capacitors in HV power
supplies for filtering purposes.  I tried, unsuccessfully to find a GE
data sheet on the above mentioned cap ( 28F2023G11 ) to see what the
manufacturer had to say about it.

Has anyone actually used one of these caps in a plate supply?  If so,
please let us hear about your experience with it.

Thanks.
