In Reply to: WHOA!! THIS IS DANGEROUS!! CAPS TOO LOW A VOLTAGE RATING!! posted by Todd Krieger on August 7, 2001 at 15:46:10:
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.
