It has led me to a question: is the voltage withstand of components different from the working voltage? So when tubes are pulled out an the voltage goes up from a lack of loading on the power supply what is safe amount or voltage to go over with say a 450V cap?
Work is fun. No problem there, makinrose!
I seem to recall KOC saying that ecaps are also rated for temporary over-voltages, but none of the data sheets that I looked at have such a specification.
