  Alan,

I would suggest that you respect the manufacturer's maximum voltage
unless you want to take responsibility for you actions.

Yes, most any voltage may work, but there is a breakdown point
somewhere, and if you increase the voltage gradually, you will find that
point for your K3 - it may be an expensive experiment, but destructive
testing is like that.
