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

Agear, I did not know they were no Jensen caps in the Tripoint power conditioner. I heard about the Jensen caps in that conditioner from what Mintzar said here on the audiogon forums.

I am 100% certain that Jensen 4 pole caps are low-impedance (low ESL) caps designed for DC supplies, NOT for direct connection to AC.
Digi-Key, Mouser and Newark carry plenty of X and Y rated capacitors.
They are easier to find in the PDF catalog than through a site search.
Good luck
