Oct 15, 2003 #2 Baldor Electrical Jul 2, 2003 31 I'd recommend using a cap rated above the mains voltage by at least 10%. There will be times when you get a transient rise in voltage at the cap. Keep in mind this will reduce the nameplate KVAR rating of the cap when used at the lower voltage. Upvote 0 Downvote
