Re: [TCML] RFI EMI Filter question

You can filter the power line all you want. It will not likely change anything. Think about it. A Tesla coil is a powerful RF transmitter and antenna combination with a peak output of multiple KiloWatts. Any piece of wire connected to your computer is acting as a receiving antenna and the computer is the receiver getting the induced currents in these wires. It is not just the power wires, but the mouse, keyboard, monitor and printer and other device wires "receiving" the signals from your Tesla transmitter.

Hello,

I use a RFI EMI filter between the line voltage and my NST (6kV 30 mA);
LINE=Filter=NST=Terry Filter= etc

however I noticed that when I forget to switch off and unplung my computer
when operating the tesla coil 10 meters away, the computer tends to freeze.
Since I have a second of these RFI EMI filter, would it help if I used two
instead of one? My understanding of LC filter is limited, hence the question

LINE=Filter=Filter=NST=Terry Filter= etc

many thanks

Thomas
