Follow up to my previous post...

If the actual voltage at those caps is 400vdc or less then the 400v K40Y caps become an option, and they are much more plentiful, cheaper, and smaller.

Also note that Mr. Samra says that the voltage ratings on the K40Y caps are extremely conservative, and that you could potentially run a cap with a lower voltage rating even if the actual voltage exceeds the rating. Again this is info is per somebody else. I have not verified it myself.
