I don't know for a fact if it is 230VAC or 330VAC, the first number is half way
rubbed out so I can only see the top so all I saw was -30VAC. Now that I look
at it it looks like 330. I don't know though because I really don't know jack
about motors and I got the cap out of a motor I found in the trash. (don't
worry, it didn't work.)

Hi Jake,

10uF is good, but 230VAC is marginal. I don't think
it will hurt anything to try it, and it may work fine.
In any case, motor caps like this are so cheap, if
you blow it, you can always replace it with one that
has a higher voltage rating. For my own use, I prefer
330VAC or higher.
