[RFI] PME (Was: Earth isolation)

[Ed -K0iL]

I've never heard the term "Multiple Protective Earthing" system before; 
maybe it's called something else here in the states or by other vendors? 
 Also unfamiliar with an "electricity supply board timer".  What's the 
"rate" you're refering to?  KiloWatt-Hours?  How could you convert daytime 
rate to nighttime?

As far as AC filtering, not sure what's available in the UK, but I use 
Tripp-Lite Isobar for filtering and AC surge suppression on all ham 
equipment.  Another vendor is Polyphaser.  They make whole house protection 
as well.

Folks great info, I learnt a lot, though my original question got lost
somewhere in the math :-) thanks to all who contributed to the discussion.

The original question was more to do with interference caused by a nearby 
Tx
antenna used by another radio operator (not a ham) getting to my audio
equipment which is connected to my TxRx. My own equipment is near quiet as 
I
have proven when the neighbour was not operating. I suspect that my mains 
is
picking up the Tx from next door, I was thinking of a mains filter, what
type, who makes them (240V-50Hz)

Now another question. Any thoughts or comments/data on Protective Multiple
Earthing systems and interference or use near/in radio installations?

Also anyone ever had a electricity supply board timer (used to change for
daytime high rate to evening/night time low rate) cause interference to
radio or telephone circuits by introducing a click, click, click steady
repeated sound?
