Series Capacitor Application
Series capacitor ratings are like two parallel resistors, so the formula is the same except (C1*C2)/(C1+C2) instead of R1 and R2, thus That in turn would lead to frequent lamp burnout. And, the more lamps that burned out, the higher the voltage may go, leading to..... Back when PF correction was as much art as science. Upvote 0 Downvote

How can I understand capacitors better? : r/electronics
Capacitor and an LED in series: When you first apply power, the LED will light briefly and then go out. (When power is first applied, that''s a changing voltage, so current flows. Depending on how much current your supply can deliver, it may reach its maximum brightness or burn out the LED. When you first apply power, all the current flows

What happens if a capacitor is connected in series?
When capacitors are connected in series, their total capacitance decreases. This is because the effective plate separation increases, which reduces the overall capacitance. Key points to remember: Same Charge: All capacitors in series share the same charge.
How to understand capacitors in series and parallel?
Here is the detailed explanation to understand the capacitors in Series and Parallel with the help of some basic examples. In a series connection, capacitors are connected end-to-end, forming a single path for the flow of current. To calculate the total capacitance in a series circuit, you need to use the reciprocal formula.
What happens if series capacitor values are different?
However, when the series capacitor values are different, the larger value capacitor will charge itself to a lower voltage and the smaller value capacitor to a higher voltage, and in our second example above this was shown to be 3.84 and 8.16 volts respectively.
How do capacitors in series work?
When adding together Capacitors in Series, the reciprocal ( 1/C ) of the individual capacitors are all added together ( just like resistors in parallel ) instead of the capacitance’s themselves. Then the total value for capacitors in series equals the reciprocal of the sum of the reciprocals of the individual capacitances.
What is the total capacitance of a series connected capacitor?
The total capacitance ( C T ) of the series connected capacitors is always less than the value of the smallest capacitor in the series connection. If two capacitors of 10 µF and 5 µF are connected in the series, then the value of total capacitance will be less than 5 µF. The connection circuit is shown in the following figure.
Should I de-Rate my capacitor?
If it'd be possible (given the size constrains that you have), I'd de-rate your capacitor (use a higher voltage rating than required) and also put a smaller ceramic capacitor in parallel. These are more tolerant to short high-voltage spikes and will help reduce the stress on the electrolytic.
