- My 160 TX is causing RFI to one of my baseboard heater programmable thermostats (switches modes, temperature, when I transmit). The thermostat has a 2 wire connection to 240VAC in a metal receptacle

- There is a particular class of bypass capacitor required for the AC line, because it is subject to HV spikes from the power system. They are standard parts, rated specifically for 3-6 kV. buy from Ne

- As a substitute for X1 Y2 line caps, an in-line RFI/EMI filter can be used that already contains the X/Y-rated caps. See the bottom of p. 21: http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf These filters c

- Hi, Paul For AC line bypass capacitors look for UL-rated Ceramic Disc capacitors that typically have AC working voltages like 250 VAC or higher. These are designed and rated for AC line service and c

- Digikey carries the Panasonic ECQ-UL series film capacitors that are rated for use as ac line bypass caps. I've used them before in thyristor (triacs, in this case) phase control drivers. They are du

- To add to this, I used 1,000vac rated ceramic caps in a VFD once some years back and they failed in spectacular fashion. This was in a 277vac system. Such caps should NOT be used on the AC line! Use

- Jim is right about X1/Y2 caps. Anyone who has restored a lot of boatanchors will tell you that you are wasting your time using anything else for AC line bypassing. See this listing as an example: htt
