If someone has empirical data, I also would be very interested. 'Typical' plasma arc temperatures exceed 4000, and gas-envelope plasma arcs exceed 15 000 degC.
Molten ejecta peak temps are limited by the chemistry of the melted and sublimated material, and available energy. The CRC has tables for this.

Would it be sufficient to prevent from common recalls due to capacitor failure on the markets in the past? I would like to know the maximum temperature of molten material emitted from the capacitor in case of the capacitor failure.
