All by caps are custom built to my specs by NWL - National winding labs.  I
sspec all for 500BPS and 600 amps peak pulse current.  On the bigger units I
demand testing for single pulses to 100,000 amps (makes 'em have to really
use huge connections internally.)  Needless to say, 2 .06 caps made to these
specs for 60kvac cost me $1200.00 US  I have brutalized them now for years
and they won't die.
