According to UL and other safety standards, on an AC power line you can only use "X" safety rated caps from line to line and only "Y" rated caps line to ground. Any other caps can be a fire or shock hazard and insurance companys would not cover this mis-application. "X" and "Y" rated caps are specifically designed for severe transients that can be on the line and either not fail or fail in a "safe" mode.
