RE: Line Filter for main power

So I could salvage the basic components from a power strip with a surge
protector?

This might be a stupid question but does Radio Shack have the necessary
parts to build one? I know they don't have a lot of electronic components
but I figured they might for this because of the lower voltage.


Thanks

Hi,

I use them to help the fundamental frequency and especially higher
frequencies from the coil out of the AC wiring.  I also use MOV
(voltage clamps) to keep the AC line voltage spice below 220 Volts.

A good RFI protector strip often sold for computers does much the same
thing.

The Idea is to protect other equipment in the house from voltage
spikes or RF noise that may affect them.  Voltage spike and do damage
directly while power RF on the line can lock computers or other fancy
electronics.

Cheers,

         Terry
