    Guys and gals:

    If any of you happen to have noisy power lines, and or induced noise from local sources such as dimmer switches, neon lights or oil-burner transformers - here is your solution at a very reasonable price for mil-spec. The OEM company is still in business, and the present-equivalent of this device is well into 3 figures.

    Note that many of you with Euro connections already have a poor cousin of this device installed:  https://www.amazon.com/Suppressor-Single-Phase-Line-Conditioner-JREle-CW2B-10A-T/dp/B073RLXRPB  

    I have ordered two examples - not that we have much noise, but we are gradually converting to LED lamps (from CFL and decorative incandescent) and LED dimmers are NOISY! Be prepared! I will mount it in a deep electrical box with a duplex grounded receptacle, and a 3-wire plug on SJO Cord. 10A should be more than enough for the lot.  One will be in the traveling kit as Kutztown is an extremely noisy environment.

    Just a thought.

    Also, for giggles,as there is a LOT of stuff out there:

    For those of you with PIO Caps that are not already shielded:

    What a great site. Thanks, Peter. One more bookmark to dribble my monthly allowance from Uncle Sam away on.
    Wonder if they make a 20-amp version of that AC noise filter. Guess I'll peruse a bit and find out. I have a dedicated 20-a breaker to a dedicated line to the man-reset GFCI to the 20-amp Furman, thence to the hi-fi and LCD TV. It pulls a max of about 6.5 amps with everything lit, but who knows whence RFI cometh?

    Peter, that has to be a simple circuit . Is it R/C like Dynaco used on the Pre line input?
    Give us a drawing if you have. Dale

    That speaker switch could be handy.
    If not a little too late though.
    I just got this delivered yesterday.

    Dale:

    Yes, an absolutely simple circuit. The device has HOT/NEUTRAL/GROUND going in, the same coming out. My intention is to use a deep 1900-box with a duplex receptacle on the "out"side and an SJO pre-made line-cord to the proper grommet in the "in"side. When the parts arrive, I will draw out the circuit, and take pictures of the process. Can't imagine how much the Military paid for these beasts, but from this maker, similar devices are usually over $100 on 'the bay'.

    I ordered the Surplushed JMF EMI SINGLE PHASE AC FILTER 115/250VAC 10AMP 50/60HZ.

    Here's what I got:16 Volt 3300uF Electrolytic Capacitor

    Even on the receipt image it's not the same.

    I called them... stay tuned.

    Cheers,

    Bluewater

    Spoke to them this morning. The caps share a bin with the EMI devices. "Keep the caps, your parts are on the way". Good sense of humor, too. Bluewater, I mentioned you. Call with the last four digits of your order number + email, and you will get the same treatment.

    Yep, I received an email with a nice apology & letting me know that the 2 correct items are on the way and to keep the caps.

    It's a fun project, nothing crucial, not sweating it. Good folks.
