Hi Ted,

I have used similar capacitors with good results.  Mine were MKP too, I'll
have to look up the exact part but I believe they are 1845 range.  Mine were
also metalized and running them within their specifications has proved okay.
I found that I ended up with many more in series than a film foil MMC
capacitor would have in a bid to get more strings in parallel for a given
value.  They handle a much lower RMS current compared to a film foil
capacitor.

Cheers,

Paul.
