It would have to withstand at least 240*1.41 =340V. I would suggest
that it would be a minimum of 400V and possibly 500V.


In the UK where 240V is the norm, 400V would be the normal rating for a
motor start/run cap


0.1uF seems much too small for a motor start/run cap. In any case,
don't these caps have an AC rating rather than a DC rating?
