According to comments and answers, this capacitor is polyester (or polypropylene), with rating 400V DC. A capacitor is a capacitor, it doesn't care particularly about what kinds of signals go through it, as long as you stay within its SOA. PlasmaHH, there is some reason why some caps are rated 400VDC and some 400VAC, or 250VDC/250VAC. Isn't it?
'400 V' capacitors are not suitable for connecting to mains. The difference is 1.2uF. Ok, but seriously now… A capacitor value marking of 105 is 1 uF, 225 is 2.2 uF. It’s the first two digits followed by the third digit number of zeros in picofarads, so 225 is 2200000 pF which is 2.2 uF. The j means 5% tolerance.
It has no defined polarity like the electrolytic capacitors have. In this application only an unpolarized and high voltage capacitor is ok because it must stand the mains AC voltage. 400 V is quite a low safety margin selection for 230VAC except if it's stated in capacitor's datasheet that 400 V means "continuously stands 400VAC".
@Chupacabras if your supply is 230 V AC then the peak voltage can be as high as 325 volts. Add (maybe) 20% for powergen issues and you get to 390 volts peak. A 400 V DC capacitor is OK but 450 V would be better and maybe, that is possibly why the 400 V DC capacitor failed. Feb 1, 2017 at 12:39 Your capacitor has plastic insulation layer.
I assume it's a 225,000 volt capacitor. The 'K' stands for +/10% tolerance. Thank you very much! I've recently come across an interesting article on capacitors and they mention amongst others a '225K' capacitor 400V.
In various circuits intended for use with 230-250 V AC I've seen capacitors labelled as "400V" (Examples: 1, 2) When I look at Capacitor specifications, they often give separate AC and DC ratings. For example: (I believe an X-rated cap is designed for use across AC supply live-neutral)

A capacitor is a device that stores energy. Capacitors store energy in the form of an electric field. At its most simple, a capacitor can be little more than a pair of metal plates separated by air. As this constitutes an open circuit, DC current will not flow through a capacitor. If this simple device is connected to a DC voltage source, as ...
Capacitors, along with batteries, are the most prone to failure of UPS components. Capacitors deteriorate with age, diminishing their capacity to fulfill their function. Inside the capacitor, the electrolyte, paper, and aluminum foil …

These safety capacitors are also known by other names, including EMI/RFI suppression capacitors and AC line filter safety capacitors. (EMI stands for electromagnetic interference and RFI stands for radio-frequency interference; RFI is simply higher-frequency EMI.) Figure 1. An example of a Class-Y capacitor.

The capacitor has to operate at the voltage rating of the motor it is connected to, so if you use a 440V rated capacitor in place of a 370V rated one, it must be done with caution. Always refer to your manufacturer''s instructions for proper wiring and installation procedures when replacing capacitors. When using any kind of electrical component, safety should always …
You can get two different types of motor capacitors, which are start capacitors and run capacitors. A start capacitor is the only operation during the startup phase of the motor and then disconnects from the circuit. On the other hand, a run capacitor continuously works to adjust phase or current shift to a motor or machine''s winding. The ...
The voltage rating on a capacitor is the maximum amount of voltage that a capacitor can safely be exposed to and can store. Remember that capacitors are storage devices. The main thing you need to know about capacitors is that they store X charge at X voltage; meaning, they hold a certain size charge (1µF, 100µF, 1000µF, etc.) at a certain ...

So all capacitors are safe when uncharged, which is what they are when you buy them. To do harm to your body, the voltage across the capacitor''s terminals must be high enough to cause a harmful effect on you. There are no hard rules for at what voltage things become harmful, but a common ''rule of thumb'' is that DC up to 48 Volt is considered low voltage. So a capacitor …

For 230VAC applications, even though typical you wouldn''t expect more than about 325V peak over your lines, choose at least a 400V or better even a 450V capacitor. And yes, even when the manufacturer specifies survivability of the part at higher voltages. Survivability does not mean proper operation. It just means that it doesn''t blow up and ...

So capacitor values are usually given with a prefix. Often you are going to work with capacitors values in pico-farads to micro-farads. To make this simpler to deal with, I''m going to show you how the prefixes work. A prefix is something you put in front of the farad symbol (F). It tells you what you have to multiply the number with. For example, 1 pF means 1 F multiplied …

I''m looking to establish a table for acceptable ESR values for Caps, I know that for each specific cap you can look at the data sheet and get the ESR and the tan d (D) to know if your cap is with spec, but when diagnosing caps in a malfunctioning circuit with a lot of caps you will need a ballpark numbers for ESR because desoldering all those ca...
