No. General rule of thumb...

is that you will want to double or triple the power supply's rail voltage in order to arrive at a cap's specification for max voltage. Even if you assume the cap's manufacturer has already derated the cap for the specified voltage, I prefer to build in extra headroom.

At these voltage levels, you'll end up running into only a couple of cap voltage ratings anyway so just plan to step up to the next larger voltage rating from the originals and you should be ok.

Cheers,

David
