can mundorf supreme caps be used for AC filtering

Hi I have some mundorf supreme caps rated at [.047] 600v , can these be safely used in AC filtering without fire risk ? I know that shunyata and audience use cap filtering in there line conditioning products. between negative and positive, not ground. thanks, Chris

I think you can do better with an Alan Maher filter. The single cap filter you are addressing is bandwidth-limited.

anybody ???? the point is I already have 8 .47 mundorf supreme caps and love a good project, i might get some lager mundorfs and bypass them with the ones I already have, and make My own filter, but I dont know if this will limit current to my amps or not , thanks ,chris

no. no current limiting in AC filters other than trannys & inductors. my fave conditioners use neither.

also, suspect that putting caps from H/N to ground would also help. but do more research.

also, may want to encapsulate the caps in flameproof heatshrink, just in case
More to discover
