I expect that this is a false positive, but I'll have to stay off the site for now.

Ehhh, it's not impossible that's not a false-positive, better safe than sorry.


I fiddled around with things to get a preferred number value here, so if your line voltage is lower than 125.5 the current will be less than 150mA.

3.3µF works fine, 3.47µF is "exact" at 120v/60hz for 35v 150mA...




I'll leave the exercise of doing the reverse calculations up to you to figure out exactly what the current would be with a 3.3µF E6 series cap at your particular flavor of local mains.
