The most commonly used format is : XYZ J / K / M VOLTS V, where XYZ represents the capacitance ( calculated as XY ?10 Z pF ), the letters J, K or M indicate the tolerance ( ? %, ?0 % and ?0 % respectively ) and VOLTS V represents the working voltage.

A typical manufacturer's range includes capacitors operating at 330 380V, with capacitance from 80 to 1, 500 �F While normal electrolytic capacitors are often operated at not more than half their nominal voltage due to their high derating, photoflash capacitors are typically operated at their nominal working voltage ( labelled as " WV " or " W . V . " rather than just " V " ).
