Re: Paper pulse capacitors

In paper dielectric capacitors, the paper is a spacer. The dielectric is 
usually something like oil or an askarel (PCB) that impregnates the 
paper.  Interesting connectors on that cap. I assume that it's 0.25 uF -at- 
6.3 kV, if I'm reading the Cyrillic letters right.  I'd really wonder if 
they're pulse caps though, and not something like a PFC correction cap. Odd 
packaging for something made in the 90's, but then, the Soviets had all 
sorts of weird things they did.. maybe the capacitor factory was working to 
a quota on the weight of their output in tonnes, like the truck 
factories.  Maybe the seller has some more information.  Maybe, since 
you're physically much closer, you could do a deal to get one cheaply and 
check it (It probably doesn't cost $16 to send something from Vilnius to 
Finland)
