Hi Guys

As TUTs state, the voltage rating on an electrolytic cap is "working volts DC" and older caps have WVDC right after the voltage number.

So, 452V on a 450V cap is absolutely nothing to worry about.

As other posts on this forum and TUTs state, the notion of having "voltage headroom" or "excess voltage rating" for an electro is specious, as the cap reforms to the voltage present over time.

Have fun
