the capacitor reactance (resistance for ac voltage) is
1/(2 X pi X freq X Cap(micro-farad)) ohms,
for 50MA from power supply, 220V/.050 = 4400 ohms....
the required resistance provided by cap for 50HZ at 220V.
then,
Cap= 1/(314 X 4400) equal aprox .7 micro-farad cap (>250 VAC rated)
works out to about .15 micro-farad per 10MA.
