Anybody used the Alphalabs EMI filter? I'm just wondering what values others see.
I have 180mV from the power company and all my devices bring it to 220mV.

I've found a laptop adapter that brings 200 to 800mV (not my laptop)..That seems bad. The entire house becomes 500+ when it's plugged in.

I am not sure how it translates to GS units though.. I found some comparisons where the GS units were about equal or half the alphalabs, but not always the same, since they use different frequency ranges.

Would be interested to know if anybody else has both and has measured 1000+ GS, what the Alphalabs was showing.

Any opinions about DE are welcome also.. how bad is it/do you think it's bad?.. I will try a power conditioner for myself eventually, no filter type stuff.. but I just want to know if it's worth it, or anybody found any help from such thing.

This is a good paper on how inline capacitor filters didn't work for solar panels:
