- Recently an old man told me that all of the caps are energy storage jobs and they are usually derated for continuous duty to about 2/3 rating. I thank him very much. I am using cheap 32uF 4500V GE no

- Han, I have lost two similar capacitors running at about 3500vdc over the years. Both of my capacitors were purchased from Peter Dahl Co and were rated for 5000vdc working voltage. I came to the conc
