RE: Not Safe

I have edited my OP on this issue. I shouldn't have been able to since it is so old and there have been responses. Don't know what's up with that.

Up until recently there has always been a time limit and once someone replied you could not edit the post. The edit and delete go away. I'm not quite sure what you are talking about. If it were not the case anyone could just change anything they said and it would be unworkable. No discussion would have any merit.


Again,

The AA program does not have a time limit or a limit after a response has been posted. I think after a thread has been archived the post can not be edited.

As for the specific caps you are using it would have helped if you would have provided a Link to a site showing the specs for the caps you have.

There are some lighting caps that are made to be connected across the line. There are others that are made to be placed in series with the winding of the ballast. (LC, Inductor/capacitor, circuit.)

I believe in all cases the cap is there mainly to correct PF, Power factor.

Some AC capacitors not only are used to correct PF but also will raise the line voltage. You might want to check the line voltage at the equipment you are using the caps on without the caps connected and then with the caps connected.
