7 forum posts	Hi All Replaced on/off switch as wasn't switching neutral. Seems to be working OK and cutting fine with the capacitor I have shown in my previous post. Hopefully this will be everything. Anymore advice welcomed and thanks for all your input.

I think the one ndiy was referring to is 40 uF which is 10 times too big anyway. Read my posts. I did not refer to any particular capacitor. That RS capacitor, if it will withstand 440V A/C Will certainly withstand 254V AC. 254V requires a capacitor that will work safely at 360V DC - but it must be a non-polarity conscious type. That 440V AC one should withstand over 620V either side of zero volts. So plenty of safety margin.
