I'm looking for an 'in line' IEC male/female suppressor thingy that I can plug in series with the mains supply going into a PC. (I could probably do with more than one actually).
I've been recommended this as a solution to the amount of EMI/RFI radiated by one of my PC's power supplies (typically it's the one that's normally on all the time). The amount of noise it radiates is interfering with radio reception, it's particularly bad in the 1MHz to
2MHz range with a peak at around 1400kHz. It doesn't just interfere with radios in the same room, it affects reception badly elsewhere in the house.I'm just getting back into SWLing and such so suggesting that I use VHF/FM instead is *not* a solution! :-)
I've tried Google searches but without much success as one gets zillions of hits with "IEC filter" and they're just about all chassis mounting plugs and similar. It's also quite difficult to find filters that are specifically designed to prevent radiation *from* the PC rather than being devices to protect the PC.
Any help finding filters for this type of application would be very welcome. If in-line IEC ones aren't forthcoming I wouldn't be too unhappy wiring something up but it needs to be close to (or even within) the PC power supply to be able to prevent it radiating.
