New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement


Hello,

Newbie here and electrical idiot. Just moved to a new to us house in Tampa. Before we moved in I had an electrician put in a dedicated line (has it's own breaker switch) which is 10 gauge and two Furutech GTX-D outlets - Rhodium.

When I hooked up the EMI meter in my old house, which didn't have a dedicated line, the reading was usually around 26 or so IIRC. At the new house the outlets are 89 usually and the dedicated line is usually around 82 - so not much help for the cost of the "project" and pretty noisy.

Also, when the ac /hvac is running the meter reads about 100 points higher (!) for both the regular outlets and the dedicated Furutechs. Not good.

Thoughts? Does the dedicated line need it's own breaker box? 

I'm also considering a line conditioner but wanted to see what could be done here. Thanks.

Wow! I can certainly understand why you’re disappointed. One solution would be a system (conditioner/uninterrupted power supply) which employs a battery such that the AC for your system is generated from the battery’s DC power. Another item you might try is an isolation transformer which will cut down on a lot of the EMI, line noise and spikes/ surges just by virtue of its being a large inductor. Just some thoughts off the top of my head. I know such devices exist, but I can’t recommend specific products.

Good Luck, mean it.
