capacitor

Now suppose we''re talking about something in the 4kV range, and the capacitor has very low ESR (10 milliΩ). What are good methods to protect the capacitor from overvoltage? One idea I had was to put a Zener clipper on the AC input, and then construct the multiplier to not exceed the design voltage knowing the input voltage limit.
