Re: WHOA!! THIS IS DANGEROUS!! CAPS TOO LOW A VOLTAGE RATING!!

209.252.133.95

I agree with Todd, but not for the same reason.

Capacitors are quite often rated in AC volts. But a 250 AC volt cap on a 240 AC volt line is really cutting it close. A high line situation or a surge could easily exceed the cap's voltage rating.
