In Reply to: Another DIY project (AC Filter) posted by pixelphoto on September 2, 2015 at 19:31:50:
Did some searching here and found the OP referenced post in which Al Sekela suggests Cat 5 wire in an R-C parallel filter. Yes, he did say that but that was for a SPEAKER R-C array, NOT for AC use! So voltage rating was not an issue at all.
Folks, please do not confuse the two types of filters. They sound alike in terms of being a parallel filtering scheme, but they are not at all alike in terms of safety issues, placement, etc.!!!!
