        Someone may know the answer to this off-topic question about an hvac capacitor.  The capacitor on my new residential hvac system is rated "440 VAC/B".  I know what the 440 VAC is--but what it the /B???  I've googled it many different ways but am having trouble finding the answer.  Curious because I like to keep spare capacitors around, but now am unsure if a regular "440 VAC" rated cap will work, or if there is actually something special about the 440 VAC/B.  Photo attached.

        Thanks Chad, I appreciate your answer--that could well be what that means.
