Hi Mike ...

yes the caps are maxwells   2 of them are rated for 50KV -at- .114uF  and the
middle one is rated for 50KV -at-
.104uf.   if my math is correct it should be about 150KV -at- .0368uf total.

BTW  these things do get warm when run on this system  they are the 31XXX
series caps ( paper n oil dielectric)

any ideas as to why they are getting warm ( possibly 120+ degrees F )
