The naming is confusing. The purpose of these "safety caps" is not to primarily to provide safety per se, it's to provide EMI filtering. For that role, these caps are designed to fail safely. The "safety capacitor" term really should be "safe-failing capacitor".
How does the capacitor provide safety? What does it protect and from what?
