X and Y Capacitors in EMI Filters
Posted: December 5th, 2014, 10:04 am
Attached is a discussion of the type of capacitor to use when building an electromagnetic-interference (EMI) filter for a power supply.
It's a reminder not to use just any capacitor in this application because it may create safety issues. These caps are easy to obtain from common venders like Mouser and Digi-Key.
(Even if I don't get around to building things
, I still think about it and make plans!
