That's good to know, I think some of the warning still stands. It doesn't hurt to be a little paranoid, especially if this isn't your wheelhouse day-to-day. It's certainly not mine, though, I've done enough to be both a danger to myself and to others. I have only worked with a motor start capacitor in the context of mine and a few neighbor's A/C units. Anything I do is small circuits, DC, and not a mess at that. Frankly, the look of the thing upon removal made me fearful that nothing about what this thing is supposed to do could be trusted (large bulges on both sides). I've worked with others of about this size, and smoked some hair on my arm with one fully removed from a Mitsubishi rear projection television (with an actual hole in what probably constituted its main board) from somewhere in the early 90s. It's the only time I've held onto a disconnected component "just right" to get a surprise and I'm not certain I touched more than hair. It didn't have anything but 400V written on it, no idea what purpose it served, honestly yanked it "because I didn't have one" and I'd never seen one that large up to that point. And I never found a use for it; it's probably still sitting in my battery box in the basement :). Bottom line: the AC unit service door, and several other places around the unit, and within its service manual have affixed, sometimes etched, warning labels. At least some of those were added after someone died. It's worth a good read and a little bit of caution.
