Counteracting High Leakage Currents
Depending on the phase angle, turning the system on, can result in steeply rising voltage spikes as a result of the fast voltage increase. The same thing happens, as well, when the unit is turned off due to inductivity in the circuit. These fast voltage spikes generate a transient leakage current to ground through the filter capacitors.

What is a Bypass Capacitor?
A bypass capacitor is a capacitor that shorts AC signals to ground, so that any AC noise that may be present on a DC signal is removed, producing a much cleaner and pure DC signal. A bypass capacitor essentially bypasses AC noise that may be on a DC signal, filtering out the AC, so that a clean, pure DC signal goes through without any AC ripple.
