In Reply to: MKP AC capacitor for PSU posted by SandroN on March 6, 2007 at 04:59:51:
Hi.Mathematically, 250VAC should be OK for 250x1.41421=353.55VDC.
But it can be risky unless you make it damn sure the tube heaters are all heated up well before you switch on the HV to avoid damaging surges. Is it a CLC or LCLC PS?
