Pushing the Limits: Testing a Small Capacitive Dropper Beyond Its Rated Voltage

In today's experiment, I'm taking a closer look at capacitive droppers. We've got a simple circuit here that's comfy at around 272 volts, but I'm turning up the dial to see how it handles more. With a couple of multimeters in play, we're tracking everything from voltage drops to how our LED responds to the added pressure. We'll chat about the workings of the capacitive dropper and the potential repercussions of pushing our components a bit too hard. And a quick heads-up - just because you don't see smoke doesn't mean all's well! Jump in and check out how this experiment unfolds. If you enjoy the video, a like and share would be much appreciated.
