When the voltage wave form is a sine wave, any peak voltage which is more than √2times of specified effective voltage shall not be applied to the capacitor. The applied voltage wave form may be distorted by the dielectric material of the capacitor or the withstanding voltage test equipment, so that it may exceed √2times the specified effective voltage.

6.1.2: Capacitance and Capacitors

If a circuit contains nothing but a voltage source in parallel with a group of capacitors, the voltage will be the same across all of the capacitors, just as it is in a resistive parallel circuit. If the circuit instead consists of multiple capacitors that are in series with a voltage source, as shown in Figure 8.2.11, the voltage will divide between them in inverse proportion.

How to select the capacitor voltage

To choose the capacitor voltage rating, first identify the maximum voltage that the capacitor will be subjected to during normal operation and consider any voltage spikes or surges that may occur. Select a capacitor with a voltage rating that is higher than this maximum operating voltage to provide a safety margin.

capacitor

Given that the capacitors have a voltage rating of 100 volts, if they have the same value then the peak voltage withstand for two in series is 200 volts. If one capacitor is low in value by 10% and one is high by 10% there will be 20% more voltage seen across the lower value capacitor hence, you can''t really assume a 200 volt pulse withstand capability and it will be more like 160 volts.

What does the Voltage Rating on a Capacitor Mean?

Take note that a capacitor''s voltage rating is not the voltage that the capacitor will charge up to, but only the maximum amount of voltage that a capacitor should be exposed to and can store safely. For the capacitor to charge up to the desired voltage, the circuit designer must design the circuit specificially for the capacitor to charge up to that voltage.
