Default Re: What to replace a RIFA X2 with?

I have had a Rifa go off in a vacuum cleaner and it never melted the surrounding plastic even though it was live side of the mains switch and carried on after switching off.
I used a 1700V fly-back capacitor and tested it against a LW radio and it was fine. The value was 6n2.
