This is the maximum voltage the capacitor is designed to handle. 1 kV = 1,000 volts. See below if you suspect your capacitor uses a code for voltage (a single letter or one digit and one letter). If there is no symbol at all, reserve the cap for low-voltage circuits only.
Customer ServiceThe voltage rating of a capacitor is a measure of how strong its insulation is. A 35V cap can withstand at least 35 volts applied across it (a higher voltage may cause bad things like a short through the cap and burnup). It has nothing to do with how much voltage the capacitor will store; it can store nothing higher than is input to it. The
Customer ServiceIn this case, the capacitor charges up to 9 volts, since it''s connected to a 9-volt battery. Many of the times while charging a capacitor, a resistor is used in series with the capacitor and voltage source to decrease the amount of current that flows through the capacitor, so that the capacitor isn''t damaged. This is usually recommended.
Customer ServiceSo any combination of C and V that results in 1 yields a capacitor with 1 coulomb of stored charge. Taken together, the capacitance and the amount of charge to store determines the voltage. A 1 Farad capacitor charged to 1 volt will have stored 1 coulomb as would a 0.5 Farad capacitor charged to 2 volts. The difference occurs when you want to
Customer ServiceThe voltage rating on a capacitor is the maximum amount of voltage that a capacitor can safely be exposed to and can store. Remember that capacitors are storage devices. The main thing you need to know about capacitors is that
Customer ServiceSince the cap (short in the electronic world for capacitors) is rated for 10uF, it can hold a charge of ten micro coulombs (that is, ten millionths of a Coulomb, 0.000010 C) per volt of voltage across its terminals. That

Customer ServiceAn alternating voltage of 500 volts (RMS) has a peak voltage of 707 volts, and a capacitor to which it is applied should have a working voltage of at least 750 volts. The capacitor should be selected so that its working voltage is at least 50 percent greater than the highest voltage to be applied. The voltage rating of the capacitor is a factor
Customer ServiceHow To Apply Capacitors To Low Voltage Power Systems (on photo FRAKO 7.5 – 100 kvar, 400 V capacitor banks via DirectIndustry ) (1000 Volt-Amperes Reactive) Total Power is measured in KVA (1000 Volts-Amperes) Power factor then is the ratio of active power to total power. We can illustrate these relationships by means of a right triangle. (See Figure 1.)
Customer ServiceReducing AC voltage with dropping capacitor. One of the major problems that is to be solved in an electronic circuit design is the production of low voltage DC power supply from Mains to power the circuit. The conventional method is the use of a step-down transformer to reduce the 230 V AC to a desired level of low voltage AC. The most simple
Customer ServiceThe voltage rating on a capacitor is the maximum amount of voltage that a capacitor can safely be exposed to and can store. Remember that capacitors are storage devices. The main thing you need to know about capacitors is that they store X charge at X voltage; meaning, they hold a certain size charge (1µF, 100µF, 1000µF, etc.) at a certain
Customer ServiceFrom our example circuit with a 12 Volt source, 1k Ohm resistor, and 1 micro-Farad capacitor, here is how the voltage across the capacitor looks plotted out while its charging up: Notice how 1 tau (RC) is equal to 0.001 seconds and by 5 * RC = 0.005 seconds, the voltage has reached steady state of 12 Volts.
Customer ServiceThe type is not as important as the value, the voltage rating and the ESR. Generally, lower ESR is good, but some older LDO (low drop out) regulators don''t tolerate capacitors that are too bad or too good all that well, and can oscillate. Use a value that is too low and they can oscillate. Use a voltage rating that is too low and they can fail
Customer ServiceIn other words, capacitance is the largest amount of charge per volt that can be stored on the device: [C = frac{Q}{V} label{eq1}] The SI unit of capacitance is the farad ((F)), named after Michael Faraday (1791–1867). Since capacitance is the charge per unit voltage, one farad is one coulomb per one volt, or [1, F = frac{1, C}{1, V}.] By definition, a 1.0-F
Customer ServiceCapacitors have their limits as to how much voltage can be applied across the plates. The technician must be aware of the voltage rating, which specifies the maximum DC voltage that
Customer ServiceIf the voltage across a capacitor swiftly rises, a large positive current will be induced through the capacitor. A slower rise in voltage across a capacitor equates to a smaller current through it. If the voltage across a capacitor is steady and unchanging, no current will go through it. (This is ugly, and gets into calculus. It''s not all that
Customer ServiceThere are no hard rules for at what voltage things become harmful, but a common ''rule of thumb'' is that DC up to 48 Volt is considered low voltage. So a capacitor charged to a voltage below 48 V is fairly safe.

Customer ServiceSince supercapacitors are low voltage devices, the rated voltage is generally less than the application voltage required. Knowing the maximum application voltage (Vmax) will determine how many capacitor cells are required to be series connected. The number of series connected cells is determined by: # series cells =

Customer ServiceAccording to this link putting a high voltage capacitor on a low voltage system is usually safe: High-voltage capacitor in a low-voltage system. So, if a system requires 16V 2200µF capacitor, I can safely put 25 volts and even 50 / 63 volts if the capacitance is 2200µF. I can''t put less than 16 volts because it will damage or blow up the
Customer ServiceFor low voltage circuits (under 25 Volts), the simple thing to do is to connect resistance across the capacitor related to the voltage it is charged up to and how much capacitance the capacitor has in it.
Customer ServiceCapacitors have their limits as to how much voltage can be applied across the plates. The technician must be aware of the voltage rating, which specifies the maximum DC voltage that can be applied without the risk of damage to the device. This voltage rating is typically called the breakdown voltage, the working voltage, or simply the voltage
Customer ServiceLow voltage capacitors are electronic components designed to store and release electrical energy. They consist of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material, known as a dielectric. When a voltage is applied, the capacitor charges and stores energy.

Customer ServiceSince the cap (short in the electronic world for capacitors) is rated for 10uF, it can hold a charge of ten micro coulombs (that is, ten millionths of a Coulomb, 0.000010 C) per volt of voltage across its terminals. That means, at the maximum voltage of 25V, the capacitor can hold a charge of 25V x 10uF, which works out to be 0.000250 Coulombs.
Customer ServiceThis is the maximum voltage the capacitor is designed to handle. 1 kV = 1,000 volts. See below if you suspect your capacitor uses a code for voltage (a single letter or one digit and one letter). If there is no symbol at all, reserve the cap for low-voltage circuits only.
So if a capacitor is going to be exposed to 25 volts, to be on the safe side, it's best to use a 50 volt-rated capacitor. Also, note that the voltage rating of a capacitor is also referred to at times as the working voltage or maximum working voltage (of the capacitor).
The voltage rating of a capacitor is a measure of how strong its insulation is. A 35V cap can withstand at least 35 volts applied across it (a higher voltage may cause bad things like a short through the cap and burnup). It has nothing to do with how much voltage the capacitor will store; it can store nothing higher than is input to it.
A capacitor may have a 50-volt rating but it will not charge up to 50 volts unless it is fed 50 volts from a DC power source. The voltage rating is only the maximum voltage that a capacitor should be exposed to, not the voltage that the capacitor will charge up to.
You tend to find more like the opposite. A high voltage capacitor will have it's capacitance rated at low voltage meaning when operated close to it's rated voltage the capacitance will be much lower. This is why the different MLCC capacitor dielectric types exist, they guarantee a certain capacitance vs voltage characteristic (amongst other things)
Since the cap (short in the electronic world for capacitors) is rated for 10uF, it can hold a charge of ten micro coulombs (that is, ten millionths of a Coulomb, 0.000010 C) per volt of voltage across its terminals. That means, at the maximum voltage of 25V, the capacitor can hold a charge of 25V x 10uF, which works out to be 0.000250 Coulombs.
