Image on cap itself says 450v so about right.

So where did the 125V figure come from? Was it printed on the dead cap or did someone give you that figure?

When I was picking up the capacitors from the company I quizzed the tech about the 125V spec on the start capacitor, he said it might be the wrong capacitor for our grid, or sometimes motors have a 120v circuit for the start, I didn't press further because I have no knowledge to ask any further informed questions. But I now have a 400 uF 250V start cap and a 25 uF 250V run cap. It's been repaired and it's running fine
thanks everyone for the tips
