Safety Caps w/o Grounded Chassis
#3

Replacement of the line capacitors with "safety" type would be effective in that if there is a failure the cap goes open.

In terms of the "Y" caps, they form an "X" across the line with a common chassis ground if that ground is used or not.

The point is CYA is included in the change out of the caps as well as improvement in an RF return to earth or "pseodo" earth.

When it comes to liability, the "CYA" (cover your ) issue, you worked on it, you changed it, if there is a loss because of the work you are responsible as the professional who did the service. No amount of disclaimer document will excuse... chas
