At the risk of offending some on this list, be aware:
800 uf at 500 v can be a lethal combination! 200 uf at 2000 v is
absolutely LETHAL - and you only get one mistake!
How do you intend switching this power? How will you generate the
charging voltage (the charging voltage is also well into the lethal
range!)? Safe enclosures, relay isolation, interlocks and grounding
rods are required. It's not like transistor supply voltages. If you
are not accustomed to this kind of voltage, please don't attempt it.
Sorry to rant, but I speak from 65 years of industrial experience, much
of that with 1Kv+ operations .
