I've been curious....
1.5kw at carrier??
Or capable of 1.5kw with modulation?
1.5kW CW, which would also be the peak for AM. Legal power is 1.5kW PEP, so an AM carrier would be less than half of that.
Regarding the high current caps, 1 mil teflon could reduce the size of the caps by 1/2. I have no clue where I could buy this dialectric.

Ok, was just surious if you were designing it as 1.5kw continuous, or for the 375watt /100% mod. thing....
Don't know about teflon.... but Kapton is fairly cheap on ebay....
I think I paid $9. for 3 sq/ft.
That's 2 mil... (other sizes avail... of course)
But, now that I think of it, that may be too thick to get .005uf easily
You would need 1 mil... still be pretty large surface area..
Maybe Frank GFZ will chime in on that, I know he's used it...
