It all depends on what they are used for....
If its capacitor input followed by a choke the output will be higher,
especially at low or no load. Sometimes tube rectifiers or something else
will complain. For SS the inrush may hurt wimpy diodes.
If choke input the output B+ wont raise much as the bleeder current holds it
down, ripple will be reduced and regulation better.
If its just a simple C only PS the no to full load regulation will be better
and ripple less; more inrush current.

Subject: [Amps] Filter capacitors
Are there any adverse effects to doubling the capacitance (leaving voltage
ratings at spec) of an electrolytic in a 300 or an 800 voltage power
supply? I have new ones on hand to replace old, leaky ones. Thanks for
any advice. Bob NZ5A
