3nF to remove power transients....don't think so. Noise maybe, transients - this is what a large inductance, large capacitance and transient absorbers like TVS, MOV and such are for.
3nF will filter RF noise or in a DCDC converter will prevent common mode radiation as a bridge cap, but not your typical transient.


BTW, I never implied I hought any of these ingenious dohikeys were necessary. Especially the resistors.
