Hello all: I am looking for information on some caps I recently ran across.
I
can't find anything on the web from Cornell Dublier, so I will throw it out
to the masses.

 >>>>Theres your problem right there.  You need to call Cornell-Dublier
directly
and talk to an engineer or tech rep there.  Give him/her the part number and
they
can fax your the datasheet etc...

The capacitors are 43 inches tall with a body diameter of 12 inches. The top
of the cap has a round metal boss with, I believe a 1/2-13 threaded hole in
the center. The bottom boss has four 1/2 inch holes drilled in it. Four ears
on the boss. The body material appears to be a phenolic type tube, reddish
brown in color. These caps are heavy, they weigh in at 240 pounds, uncrated.
The value as indicated on the top boss is:15 uF -at- 120 KVDC. I would suspect
they were intended for a radar unit or some other type of high powered
transmitter. These are my guesses. The only thing I don't know is what type
of dielectric they use. Here is the part number: PL7319XR-1. Manufactured by
Cornell Dublier. Condition is really good. They do not appear to have ever
been used. So, short of sawing one in half, I thought of asking the Tesla
group.

Any help would be appreciated.
