GE TRANQUELLTM Surge Arresters
Voltage arresters in service are continually exposed to system operating voltage. For each arrester rating there is a recommended limit to the magnitude of voltage which may be continuously applied. This has been termed the Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) of the arrester. The MCOV of each TRANQUELL arrester is contained in Table 2.

6 FAQs about [Capacitor continuous operating voltage]
Should a capacitor be rated 50 volts?
So if a capacitor is going to be exposed to 25 volts, to be on the safe side, it's best to use a 50 volt-rated capacitor. Also, note that the voltage rating of a capacitor is also referred to at times as the working voltage or maximum working voltage (of the capacitor).
Can a capacitor charge up to 50 volts?
A capacitor may have a 50-volt rating but it will not charge up to 50 volts unless it is fed 50 volts from a DC power source. The voltage rating is only the maximum voltage that a capacitor should be exposed to, not the voltage that the capacitor will charge up to.
Do perfect capacitors have a voltage rating?
They have a voltage rating, when AC is applied to a perfect capacitor the current leads the voltage by 90° so no heating effect takes place at the rated voltage.
What is a capacitor voltage rating?
The voltage rating is the maximum voltage that a capacitor is meant to be exposed to and can store. Some say a good engineering practice is to choose a capacitor that has double the voltage rating than the power supply voltage you will use to charge it.
Why do capacitors have different voltage ratings?
In another, 50 volts may be needed. A capacitor with a 50V rating or higher would be used. This is why capacitors come in different voltage ratings, so that they can supply circuits with different voltages, fitting the power (voltage) needs of the circuit.
What is the working voltage of a capacitor?
The working voltage, i.e. WVDC, is the maximum continuous voltage that the capacitor is designed to handle. Exceeding this value will impact the reliability of the capacitor and reduce the useful life. The peak RF voltage plus any dc voltage on the capacitor should not exceed this value.
