Hi,

As far as "I" know...  PFC caps are always put in parallel and never in
series with the "primary" of the transformer.  

In theory, you can put a PFC cap on the secondary, as is often done with
14,400 power lines, but the current limiting of a say NST would mess things
up I think.

However, there may be tricks out there I am unaware of??

Cheers,

	Terry
