The take away from this video, is that your filter caps may need a way higher voltage rating than you think.

Indeed and like Paul mentioned in the video,the older cans could handle over voltage much better than the small,single value new caps.. The new twist-loc cans tho from Authenticap and CE are very good actually and the AC can handle up to 600vdc at turn-on and 550vdc on the CE.
