Sure! AC 660V is equvalent to DC 1.4*(2*660) V |

I've seen many caps where the dc voltage is spec'd is far lower than what you might think from the peak ac. Best check with the manufacturer... |

Check out the Axon Novas at Micheal Percy 1200v 20uf. |

Try these two places. They have some high voltage stuff, some new, some old. I imagine there are others like them. Fair Radio John |
