HI all, I've got a different issue here with FM interference. I replaced an old Trace DR with a Magnum 4024 pure sine wave. The radio in question, or location is within 15' from the inverter. The interference is there on a portable FM unit as well. There is no interference with just the generato

I see that this install is using EMT, are you using a bonding bushings on the EMT? If so, I had interference on a large PV powered refrigeration unit that used an electronic expansion valve. The wires were installed inside EMT causing all kinds of weird problems. When I removed bonding at both en

Excellent article that sums it all up. The one thing I would add is that ferrite filters don't actively "do" anything - they just act like a high resistance to EMI/RFI and swamp it out, so you can put as many as you want, anywhere, and it won't hurt anything (but it may also not do anything) -

Excellent Dan! The first thing I would do in most cases is your #5. Increasing the RF signal to the receiver will usually overcome the relatively low level RFI. As an amateur operator (KB5HMU) I sometimes have to deal with close RFI at 160 meters, 1.8 to 2kHz. I have a tunable dipole with p

Interference from inverters will always be an issue. It's a difficult topic for many to understand .. and equally difficult to reduce. Note you can reduce .. but not eliminate the interference. To complicate things, the farther a radio is from the transmitter, the more difficult this issue w
