Hi Tom:
So, for voltage up to 450V d.c. (i.e. up to 318V a.c.), capacitor
up to 0.1uF will become a Limited Current Circuit, hence the voltage
is not Hazardous Voltage (1.2.8.4) - no additional condition would
be required for the capacitor connected to the primary circuit.

Hi Charles, Warren
Seems that a few of us know what DOES happen and the longterm results, but
quite a few others don't believe that it does - and that even it does then
it is not very important.
The difference between reality and theory!

Hi John,
Even theory has to comply with practice, so i took my soldering iron
(the unplugging process may need to be repeated a few times until the
capacitor is disconnected when the mains is high at the time of
disconnection and so gets a decent charge!)
At a former employer, we monitored the wave form with a 'scope, and
repeatedly opened and closed the connection to

Now, maybe, the standards writing committees will begin to take this issue
on board and do something about it
John -
I respectfully disagree that the standards bodies need to do
anything. It is the designers that must be aware of the
advancements of technology (such as described by Gert) and
update their practices accordingly. [Low ESR / High Q caps
are a good thing.] While I have no doubt about the

Hi John,
Though you are fully right theoretically, i think parts of your story are a
