CAPS

Ihave some 20 through 40 mfd electrolytic @450 VOLTS .Can i use them instead of 4.7 uf @450 volts?
Be used in a big cap block .

For power supply circuits, you can go as high as 100% of the original value but it can raise your voltage. For any other application, I wouldn't go over 20% of the original value.

A 10 mfd would be ok even a 12mfd.Allways keep same voltage.Sprman : )

If the cap is too big it will load down the power supply in trying to charge them up. Too much current and then poof! on the power supply. You had better stay with the 100% over and no more to be safe I would say myself 20% and no more. As suggested by Motorola man!

Thanks alot lot of help'.
