I'm recapping a power supply with a voltage doubler, and the can caps had been replaced at some point with 150V rated parts. I don't know what they were originally spec'd at, but I've always just looked at max HT and selected the next highest voltage rating for safety margin. It will be a PITA to fit anything larger than a
Looking at the schematic, I see that either of the 80uF caps in the doubler only see half of HT, but if one failed short, the other's going to explode, and either may take out my power transformer. Whats the safe voltage rating to use for these 80uF caps?
