I spent years and thousands of dollars trying to resolve a Magnum Inverter 
noise problem. Even though we offered to help them they stone walled us and 
lied to us. We were working with the top people in the company. You cannot 
visit an RV park without experiencing terrible noise because of Magnum 
inverters. They are big mobile polluters.

It MAY be possible to suppress the noise with a very good common mode choke on the output, but it may require a lot of turns on a lot of cores.  A starting point would be the guidelines for RG8/RG213 coax chokes in k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf, and multiple chokes may be required.

I have a new American Standard AC system in the house which generates an 
amazing amount of RFI.  I have called and called with no results.
This might likely be a variable speed motor controller. If so, would be solved by dumping the variable speed option for the unit. Study
