Hi Forest,

The only added comment I have is wiring the filter in "backwards".
Most filters are designed to keep stuff from getting back onto the line cord. Some filters are symetrical and how you wire it would not matter. If your filter has a LOAD end and a LINE end, I would wire it up that way and NOT wire it "backwards".

Passive filters, supposing resistive impedances on both sides, are always symmetrical. Of course this is not true if there are voltage limiting devices at just one side.
