Nathan,
I would not use it. To use a DC rated cap in a Tesla coil tank circuit, you
need to triple or quadruple the DC rating to get a safe AC rating. That
means for a 15 kv AC supply, you would need a DC rating of 45 to 60 kv. Even
then, the DC rated cap would not be designed for heavy pulse duty
applications and would not perform well.
