Does anyone have any experience with Honda generators and RFI? I just purchased a Honda EM6000GP propane powered 6KW generator for use at a cabin that is off the power grid. Unfortunately, the genera

A good commercial line filter at the generator is probably be a good idea. Not all are created equal, so study the specs carefully. You want to ground the filter to the generator with very short lead

Hi Clay, We use a Honda ES6500 at our Field Day site without any special line filtering and don't have any problems with noise. That is not to say that it doesn't generate any RFI. My experience has

While balancing the load between the legs is a good thing, especially in 120/240V systems, I doubt that it has much, if anything, to do with RFI. Jim Brown K9YC ______________________________________

Thanks for the link Jim. I'm in the process of digesting the info now. I assume that I need to wrap all three wires through the toroid (both 120V legs and neutral). I have a four wire connection from

Mike, I am wondering if using a type 73 material would improve things for HF operations? Looking at a chart for various ferrite materials I note that type 43 (which you used) peak impedance is around

Yes Good. The ground should probably NOT have a toroid on it. Do you have my Power/Grounding white paper? If not, grab it off my website. There must be ONE, AND ONLY ONE, bond between neutral and gro

If you pass all 3 wires through the toroid, you will choke out all the common-mode RFI currents. That's probably what you want. Of course it means you can't use the green wire as an RF ground anymore

What magnetics are being saturated, and how? If all the currentcarrying conductors are going through the ferrite choke, the net field is limited to the common-mode current, which ought to be the nois

Sorry, brain cramp. I had forgotten we were talking about 120/240 as opposed to 120. Yes, both phases and the neutral need to go through the choke if the resultant field is to be small. Jim _________
