When troubleshooting surge problems on products  we often see the surge pulse to
be much higher after the line filter (testing the AC Mains with Line-Earth surge
pulses according to EN61000-4-5). 

Can someone explain the science behind this and what effect the load might have?
Can this increase in the surge potential be anticipated ahead of time so proper
clearances can be designed in?
