I take it that you mean the working voltage is to low, what voltage
would be appropriate?



** Film caps rated for continuous use across the AC supply are special
types - known as class X1 or class X2

They are AC voltage rated, usually at 150 or 275 volts and carry logos from
agencies like UL.

Thanks again Phil

I have seen X1 & X2 caps in the R.S. and Farnell books thanks for the advice.
