    I have already looked at them; just not sure they are up to the loading required for a D/W circ pump……….unless you know different 😉

    Capacitors are only specified in terms of capacitance and voltage, they don’t have current / power ratings so any 3uf non electrolytic, suitable for mains applications will do the job.

    UN1112 at Masterpart. 3.5uf £1.39. I’ve used 7uf in place of 5uf in similar situation and not had a call back. I think you can go higher but lower won’t work. The volts sounds high but I think it’s just a peak rating.

    Bob Okines wrote a while back about capacitors along the lines that the output increases by the square of the value, so 3 = 9, therefore 3.5 = 12.25, which is significantly higher…..

    Got to be there or very close to thereabouts!
