Can motor run caps handle high ripple as the first and/or second caps in a CLC supply at 450v? Thinking of a stage amp 50W, like 2x6L6 for instance.
I was looking at 500v caps and the usual suspects at 47uF or 68uF are pretty small in size. Waiting for delivery of these Vishay caps, which actually do state good ripple current in the data sheet. I'm reading .56A at 120hz.
Wondering which way to go here, and what kind of ripple current figures to shoot for in a 50w tube amp, which should be around 120mA.
