Need Oddball Caps.

[WSHU Engineering]

You can buy motor run caps in this range (4uf) at 660 vac from most
electrical or motor supply houses. Since peak voltage is 660 x 1.414, the
caps will work for up to 930 vdc. I have used them for years with no problem
and compared to special order DC caps they are cheap!
