I would suggest you tell your home-owners insurance company
what you wish to do. They may have a comment or two.
An alternative might be to ask a licensed electrician to
install your "modification". Please listen carefully as
he explains why this is against "the codes".

Use of .1 uF AC caps are UL approved
Stu, UL dosn't mean that they are designed to be safe from neutral to ground. The Y2 safety cap is the one for this from a safety point of view, in the rare case that the hot migrates to the ground. I think that would be the main risk if not the only risk. Jon... say that the cap should not be more than 4700 pf. There are Y2 caps as high as 1 uf. If that is safe or not I don't know but they are made in that hi a value. Tweaker
Stu, What John... are saying or implying is that a leakage current that could occur with caps across neutral to ground has some danger associated with it. I measure zero voltage with or without load. If as I think I read you are using .1 from neutral to ground. They are saying that this is not safe. Tweaker
