Ideally, you would use a capacitor rated for continuous AC current like a motor run cap, but I've had good luck with basic polyester film caps like these from Panasonic. http://www.alliedelec.com/panasonic-...25kf/70260082/ |
I made up a few cap droppers, using scrap ceiling fan caps. They're rated at 250 VAC. You have to parallel them to get the proper value.
