It's rather unusual; what have you got in the factory that might be causing it? Can you try powering the LISN from a spur taken directly from the main breaker box, with nothing else connected to the spur?

Hello John.

I’m getting the LISN checked at a UKAS EMC facility next week. I think it’s excessive noise on the ac mains that’s not being attenuated sufficiently by the LISN.

Regards;

Ian

You might ask the manufacturer of the LISN. Maybe it's faulty.

    Dear Colleagues.

    I am setting up a mains conducted rf emissions measuring system
    and am experiencing excessive mains noise when connecting the LISN
    to the 240V wall socket. The noise affects my measurements between
    150kHz to 400KHz. Beyond that and up to 30MHz I am satisfied. Is
    there a way of filtering out this noise. I have tried various EMI
    mains filter modules but none appear to attenuate enough at that
    frequency band. They are very good at attenuating frequencies
    beyond 1MHz. I have tried inserting an isolation transformer
    before the LISN but this appears to distort the measurements.

    Can anyone recommend a solution?

    Many thanks in advance.
