Hello everyone, I have a beginner's question. Can the peak or pulse voltage applied to the secondary capacitors — the ones you’re trying to charge — be higher than the capacitor’s rated voltage? Also, on the transformer, is the high voltage on the side of the secondary capacitors? Wouldn’t applying pulses above the rated voltage damage the capacitors faster? Could a kind soul please help me understand this?

Taking any device outside of its defined parameters is always a "at your own risk" kind of thing, Many of us notice if pulsed you can drive a modest voltage level that is over the rating. What happens at HV is your internal capacitor plates start to internally ark as the dielectric breaks down. And also you risk damaging/blowing them up.
So If it says 100 volts. Don't go hysterical if you are feeding 125 volt pulses. 200 volts. I'd start to worry But the actual breakdown points all depends on capacitor type and configuration frequencies pulse duration and all that.
