A 1 microfarad 75 volt Sprague 150D series solid tantalum is 6.79 dollars: https://www.mouser.com/c/passive-components/capacitors/tantalum-capacitors/tantalum-capacitors-solid-leaded/?termination%20style=Axial&voltage%20rating%20dc=75%20VDC~~125%20VDC&instock=y&sort=pricing&rp=passive-components%2Fcapacitors%2Ftantalum-capacitors%2Ftantalum-capacitors-solid-leaded%7C~Voltage%20Rating%20DC If I wanted to save some money, I might use a plastic film capacitor in series with a 1 ohm metal oxide resistor: https://www.mouser.com/c/passive-components/capacitors/film-capacitors/?capacitance=1.5%20uF&termination%20style=Axial&voltage%20rating%20dc=100%20VDC~~250%20VDC&instock=y&rp=passive-components%2Fcapacitors%2Ffilm-capacitors%7C~Voltage%20Rating%20DC&sort=pricing https://www.mouser.com/c/passive-components/resistors/metal-oxide-resistors/?resistance=1%20Ohms&instock=y&sort=pricing |

I think 63V would be ok 50V probably not, having said that the transistor wouldn't survive above 50Vce - well it might but it would be annoyed. |

If you want to do the later, then a 75 volt TVS diode will be more suitable. |

I was confused because your description and photo reminded me of the regulator I built for a mining application where there was no battery. IIRC, the field was grounded via a relay until the alternator's output voltage rose to a level sufficient to energise the relay and open its contacts. The transistor and zener then took over. The need for a battery (to excite the field) was obviated by the residual magnetism in the field. BTW, your circuit makes no sense to me, either. :-? |

It won't work as drawn unless it's using an SCR. C3 is not on the schematic, part values would help. |
