I look for a cap that is about 30% greater in voltage. I have read
that the back EMF can spike 15% over the power supply.

I look at the voltage as 130VAC in from the street (highest probable
voltage) and 105 in from teh stree (brown-out conditons) and double
check that those extreems will not burn things up.

Can anybody offer a more correct method than my fudge factors ?
