Hello All,
I have some Russkie K-40 at 400v, and my application (interstage cap in Bottlehead S.E.X.) apparently is right at this limit. Designer P. Joppa says:
"The voltage in the SEX amp is around 400v; a bit higher at startup for a few seconds. Most caps can handle a greater voltage for a short time, but also most caps will have a longer life at a lower voltage. You will likely be fine with a quality cap (such as the Vitamin Q) rated 400v but I won't recommend less that 600v because I don't know all the different caps that people might use. "
Anyone have relevant experience with the this cap at this range? Mike S.?
Thanks
Kevin

- Its a function of WHERE the cap is, in the circuit. - drlowmu 19:19:58 01/25/17 (4)
