So now I'm not certain I understand what you are asking. Can you
clarify?
Is there anything in the specifications of off-the-shelf EMI filters
that says that they will withstand the 6 kV surge, which they have to do
if there is no surge-protection upstream?
I see specs about 'hi-pot', usually 2.5 kV or so. But looking at the
insulators on typical filters, I would expect them to arc over at 6 kV.
