Pedro:  I thought maybe you had one of those pad mounted 300 kva xfmrs or were
going to repeat the Donner/Blitzen experiment. JMac is right. .0053 is more
like it plus it has the advantage that you can actually pick up the capacitor
without a forklift. I am sure one of the folks who have built your size cap
will reply to tell you how big it was or you can check the archives. Home made
caps have been described several times in the last few months.
