Okay..  here it goes,

Ive been running a combination of the following caps in my BIGPIG set 
up for the last several years and have probably put well over 100+ 
total hours on them...
remember now, I'm pumping up to 28,800 - 32,000 VAC into the primary 
circuit of the the coil too...

there is a total of 4 caps, all in series

2 @  series # 31160  50KV .23uF
2 @  series # 31231  50KV .14 uF

if  my math is correct thats 200 KV at .043uf

I beleieve its more of a factor of having a high voltage capacity in 
the cap set up compared to the supply voltage being pumped into the 
caps that will allow a better life expectancy....    what else 
explains the longevity of the system I am using??
