Yes. The working voltage (WVdc) is the maximum rated voltage (excluding short term transients) that the capacitor is designed to operate under without being damaged in continuous use (some margin of safety exists, often quite large, but best to stay below the WVdc). -- Howard FP Steel :-( I Think, Therefore, I Am aka: "The Duck" :-) I Think
