RE: [TCML] Help identifying this cap. Is it suitable?

Dear Bama,

It looks like a "bang" cap to me. Just guessing but it probably isn't any
good for a Tesla Coil. It might run for 2 seconds and then melt volcanic
radioactive puss all over the floor. Although 100nF is 0.1 uF is about
perfect for 10kva. Nice photos.

Subject: [TCML] Help identifying this cap. Is it suitable?


I found this cap at work. I'm looking for a spark gap tank cap. It will be  
a pole pig system using approximately 10kva. Do you think this cap is  
suitable? The only info I have on it is that it measures 100nf. I assume it

must be pretty high voltage considering the size of the insulators. Can you

guys help me?
It weighs 14 lbs. btw.
