Hi all,
After some research about treadmills causing DSL dropouts, and having tried and failed with many of the recommendations regarding induced line noise from the motor, I purchased a couple of emi/rfi filters that are small "line in/load out with ground" chassis mount boxes to be installed at the treadmill to cancel any noise being introduced into the house wiring. the price for these were right at less than $20 a piece including shipping off Ebay. They list for 52.14 each at DigiKey.
My son also has a treadmill and DSL in his house as well, (but has not hooked his treadmill up yet) so I bought a second filter to be pre-emptive.
The filters I bought I can not find the attenuation dB specs for. They are Corcom 20VSK6 filters, considered by their spec sheet to be able to provide "premium" attenuation for appliances, exercise equipment,etc. I have uploaded a sheet on this filter for reference.
My question is this:
Having purchased both filters for a decent price, and being the type of person who tends to overbuild something rather than skimp, can 2 of these filters be wired together either in series, parallel, or piggy-backed to each other to provide a better filtration method, or am I wasting my time and just wire up one and be done with it?
Thanks in advance for all who weigh in on this. I built a snowplow limit switch control system using help from you guys 2 years ago and it still works like a charm. The circuitry was simple,effective, and saved my $400 linear actuator from the same death it's predecessor met with from poor engineering from the manufacturer.
Cheers!
