Define "especially hard on caps," please.

Also, if it means anything, of the thousand(s) of caps we've sold (I'm not 
privy to the precise
number), I've only heard of three caps failing.  The most recent appeared 
to be a
manufacturing defect.  The other two were destroyed by John Dyer when he 
was running a
20kV MMC at about 26.5kV (15kV NSTs at 150V input) with a widely-spaced 
static gap.
