Power supply QRM shielding
I have a very nasty qrm coming from my psu inside the computer . Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to tackle this please . I have not had it apart yet so dont know if there are some critical filtering components missing !.
Thank you. |
Re: Power supply QRM shielding
I think you are right about missing filter components, all too prevalent today. A portable radio waved around the mains cable will find out.

I found our previous PC was putting a lot of noise onto the mains lead and it was radiating all over the house.
So I made a short flylead which plugged into the PC's IEC socket and was fitted with a filtered IEC socket, see picture. This socket was mounted in a small plastic box for safety. Once fitted, peace & quiet reigned again! The filtered socket came from Surplectronics. https://www.surplectronics.com/ It's listed under capacitors. |

Thanks for replies. Looks like i,m going to have the lid off and take a look see first then maybe even roll my own filter , its very noisy its unreal on the s meter.

Re: Power supply QRM shielding
You'll probably find a nice virgin area on the PCB ready for X and Y capacitors, and a pair of links where a common mode choke ought to have been. Probably was on the one sent for testing. Fitting these ought to be a start. Adding a big ferrite on the output wires might help as well. 1 per connector.
