I do not know, if the brake down voltage decreases if the electrolyte
capacitor is used well bellow the original rated voltage, but I know
from experience, that if you cautiously and slowly increase the voltage
across the capacitor it will work at higher than the rated voltage, but
with reduced capacitance.

I remember often reading that if you run a 'lyt at a voltage much reduced

the oxide layer would get thinner over time so that in the end, the

imply that
purposely overrating a 'lyt is pretty pointless.
Any comments on this notion?

Grrrrrrrr.. My HP16500C has a defective PS and my 4274A RLC bridge
had a major explosion inside. OMG, WHAT A MESS! All that black magic smoke!
I re-caped the bridge, it took me a day on the DIgikey site to find
replacements.
I had to use substantially larger voltages to make them fit mechanically.
But that is a good thing.
cheers, Gerhard
