Anything over 25 volts could fry the circuitry. If you are using older strobe systems you need to get a thing that regulates/reduces..whatever...the voltage. I have one from Lumedyne, Wein also makes one. If you want more info I'll look in my lite kit tomorrow and tell you the exact name and part number. Also if you are using on camera flash be sure it is a newer strobe...the old 283's and their ilk are pretty high voltage also. The newer ones are ok.
