Re: When is a capacitor not across the mains.
Thanks for the discussion. My understanding of X rated capacitor is they are actually designed to fail short circuit as the method of protection is to blow the fuse. Although I do enjoy the phrase self healing regards capacitors I.e one cuts of the affected limb. I have gone for a 1000 rated polyester on the bases this is an order of magnitude better than the waxy capacitor that I’m replacing. However always open to being corrected.
