Default Capacitor Value Question

Any idea as to the value of this cap? The markings on it a

It's about 2" wide and 1" thick, and comes from a Co-Op brand electric
fence power supply. It tests dead-shorted.



The Siemens coding system was

With a long series of digits and letters where there was a sequence of 4
digits, the middle 2 represent the 2 leading digits of the
capacitance value and the fourth the indicial multiplier in pF ('8' - 10^8
pF)
so perhaps 32 x 10^8 pF or 3200 uF
A1 would be a type number
