I failed to mention that the values I were mentioning earlier, in the
designs I was using, were for a Pi tank circuit and not a Pi-L. Thus the
load C would have seen a different load resistance of about 300 ohms or
so. For 1500 watts PEP on a 300 ohm load, a voltage of 671 volts would
be incurred. At the 50 ohm load for a Pi tank, load C would see about
274 volts. So a capacitor with a rating of at least 2.5 : 1 difference
would be needed. Where V = sqrt of W x R.
