Yes, you can replace a 440v capacitor with a 370v capacitor. But it’s not possible the other way around. The voltage rating shown in a circuit is the maximum amount. Installing a lower voltage capacitor will decrease the performance. But installing a higher voltage capacitor may ruin the circuit.

???? Did you mean to say that a 370v can be replaced with a 440V but not other way around?
