Hi Ian,
When you used the isolation transformer how did you have the earth connected or
isolated?
I have seen similar issues, I used an isolation transformer but connected the
earth or used a separate earth connection, I think I remember this solved it.
You could try finding the source of the noise,
how certain are you that the LISN is not faulty?
Normally they filter out emissions very well, could it be the LISN is faulty
and passing the noise through or creating the noise it the first place?
Can you run a set up to look at how noisy your mains supply is without any
product connected to it?
regards Darren.

source to power the LISN but my only concern would be that the ac source has
high conducted rf emissions as I assume the ac is derived from high frequency
switching power devices. regards Ian McBurney Lead Compliance Engineer.

Subject: [PSES] Mains Conducted rf emissions measurements 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. Ian McBurney Lead Compliance Engineer. Allen & Heath
