Wanted: AC Capacitor - 16 to 20 uf

I am needing a capacitor for power factor correction.  I 
added a new compressor refrigerator to our motor home 
and find it has a 0.50 power factor.  Since it will be 
powered by an inverter much of the time, I would like to 
get the power factor up to where it should be.  It appears 
I will need about 16 to 20 uf.

This capacitor must be capable of taking 125 VAC on a 
continuous basis.  Probably an oil filled cap with a 600 volt 
or higher rating will do the job.

What do you have available?

Thanks.

73,
