Popping big electrolytic capacitors with Autotransformer

1:10 Oh yeah? You think you can escape from me with your little wall?

The nominal voltage limit on an electrolytic capacitor with respect to the source voltage
10V for 1-5V source voltage
16V for 6-10V source voltage
25V for 11-20V source voltage
35V for 21-30V source voltage
50V for 31-45V source voltage
63V for 46-58V source voltage
100V for 59-95V source voltage
160V for 96-154V source voltage
200V for 155-194V source voltage
250V for 195-235V source voltage
400V for 236-385V source voltage
450V for 245-425V source voltage
500V for 255-465V source voltage

Great capacitor pops.

[@HDXFH]

good pop!

[@FrozenHaxor]

Actually these are as loud as firecrackers :P

[@FrozenHaxor]

Indeed, they can't handle the AC wave. They would probably make it to 250V on DC, but when the sine wave goes to negative voltage stage, it makes them unhappy :)

I might wanna get a variac, So i don't have to worry ruining the 120V AC In our house.

Woah, i jumped...
