X-class capacitors are used across the line where failure would not lead to an electrical shock. X-class capacitors are divided into sub-classes and Y-class capacitors are used in “line-to-ground” applications where failure could lead to an electrical shock. It is also divided into sub-classes by their AC voltage and peak surge voltage ratings.
