RE: Those aren't motor run caps

Motor run type caps are usually rated 20+ amp range. These days I think it is better to call them "oil filled metalized polypropylene" caps. Used to be we were talking about AC rated caps used with motors. Today we can get caps intended for use in UPS, VFD, etc. that are DC rated and intended for your exact usage.

Agreed..This is why they are so frequently used in high current application and even 440v 3 phase circuits running huge compressors.
