Hi,

Some large high power systems can use caps in this range.  However, they 
are not going to be cheap!  To get the voltage, you need 15 caps in a 
string for 10nF each.  Then you need 50 string!  750 caps....  A commercial 
high frequency, high RMS, high peak current cap would probably be cheaper 
than an MMC here.  Also far smaller.

Cheers,

         Terry
