This assumes that the susceptibility is that internal wiring.  That's 
possible, but my money is on common mode on external wiring -- it's the 
best HF RX antenna, the cause is often failure to terminate the green 
wire properly inside the equipment, and it's the easiest to fix without 
making it a science project (and voiding warranties).

And remember -- what the power and EMC world calls common mode ignores 
the green wire, which passes through conventional power line filters, 
and is usually where the noise current is! If a conventional filter 
helps, it's usually because it's internal and properly bonds the green 
wire to the shielding enclosure, NOT because of it's design as a filter.
