Re: capacitors in line filters

Victor is correct....Only use caps that are rated for AC such as the oil bath PPN types that are internally fused motor run caps....These are normally housed in a metal case so measure the AC potential on the case and go with the lowest with AC hooked up both ways....Put a drain resistor of 200K-250K across the cap for safety. I suspect that you have a problem with the cap you used or the cap is hooked up backwards with respect to AC potential if you encounter hum.
