In Reply to: What's the purpose of the capacitor on the AC mains line to chassis for? posted by jea48 on October 27, 2016 at 11:37:50:
Its not grounded at all. There is transformer isolation.
The cap is to reduce noise, but this whole approach is antiquated. They just didn't know how to handle electrical safety and grounding back then.
