The manufacturer has spec'd the rating at 900 VAC.  He's running the caps at
14.4 kV (mfgr rating is only 9 kV AC).  It's not rocket science.  He's
exceeding the manufacturers ratings severely.

DC ratings have to be completely ignored because RF corona will occur at the
caps plate edges.  They will fail --- it's only a question of when failure
will occur.
