    Is this safe?

    I have 3 Unregulated 24V 20A power supplies.
    The Caps are 33,000uF at 50V on each power supply.
    No load is 27.3V.
    In series, at the capacitor outputs, they make 81V.
    I need 75V max.

    Can I safely series all three together at the capacitor outputs, even though they are 50V each?

    Second, Can I safely use the 132V jumpers and plug it into 120V...and series them?

    That gives me 73V.....so it reduces the output from 81V.

    I just don't want one of these Caps to blow or have a fire.

    Talked to the guys at International Power.

    They said I can safely do all of the above.
