what you probably are looking for is a 5KVA distribution transformer that 
has a 120 "secondary" and a 14KV input... this should give you pleanty of 
power to charge the cap set...  even a 240 "secondary" with a 14KV input 
should  charge the caps in a relativatly decient time frame...   but you 
will need some type of ballast to keep the current to 20 A at 120 vac....

have you done the math to determine the charge rate of the caps and is 
there a specific time duration needed to charge them??  is the time between 
"recharges" rapid or is it more of a single pulse discharge on the caps and 
"it really doesnt matter" if it takes a couple of seconds to recharge type 
of situation??

it would help if you could supply us with the application you have in mind 
for your "system"

alot of knowledge resides on this list ...  :)     give us some specifics 
and we may just be able to tell you EXACTLY what you need and where to find 
it ...  who knows  maybe one of us has such a trannie sitting on a work 
bench collecting dust that needs a new home ....
