RE: caps on AC - impressions and uf sizing

I second for RC use. Because of two reasons.
RC filter across + and Neutral slightly improving the upper peak of sinusoidal main voltage. And more importantly, RC filter kills primary resonance of main transformer.

Choice of resistors and capacitors is very important. Resistor should be a carbon composite type (A.Bradley or Stackpole) 330 ohm/1 watt. And best capacitor (to me) is some fim & foil type. I use 15 nF/1.5 KV, ERO KP-1832.
But any value from 10nF-15nF (>1KV) will be OK.

Just try it. It is not difficult.

Best diying
