277v comes from running one leg of a 460v 3 phase supply to ground. Nothing special about it. Lighting in industrial complexes is commonly 277v single phase, since its really simple to make that from the 460v 3ph mains. Where I work, we have 460v 3ph supplies, 277v lights in the warehouse, and a few 240 and 120v systems as well. We get our 240 and 120 from a couple of big step-down transformers installed throughout the building.


zane: The electrolyic may be a multi-section cap. Probably have to replace that with 2 or 3 (or whatever) individual capacitors. The rest you can just buy new. For radio use, the cheap yellow polypropelyne caps are just fine. I get mine from justradios.com. Possibly there are cheaper options, but I buy stuff from there because its easy to find what I need, and the shipping is reasonable and quick. If you happen to have a stash of suitable caps already, go for it. Radios really are not picky about what sort of caps you stick in there, so don't feel compelled to buy anything expensive or special.
