In Reply to: Using only one "half" of Mundorf duoble electrolytic capacitor? posted by Zricak on January 25, 2007 at 12:38:05:
You might want to do some research concerning using electrolytic caps at voltages far below the rated voltages. There seems to be some evidence that the full capacity doesn't develop ("form") and/or declines. In your case you propose a cap almost 3 times the original voltage rating. As an on/off tech for over 35 years - several times professionally - I try not to exceed voltage rating when replacing a capacitor by more than 20-40% - if nothing else you're spending more money for a higher voltage unit.I dunno, perhaps this is an old vs. newer technology issue as electrolytic capacitor manufacturing evolved (in high school we used to joking calculate the size of a farad cap - about as big as a volkswagon bus with 1960s tech - now there are low voltages ones that you can almost hold in one hand!) but I'd "look" a little before I "leap" just in case.
