Hello Ari. I'm considering hiring an ac source to power the LISN but my only concern would be that the ac source has high conducted rf emissions as I assume the ac is derived from high frequency switching power devices.

I am setting up a mains conducted rf emissions measuring system and am experiencing excessive mains noise when connecting the LISN to the 240V wall socket. The noise affects my measurements between 150kHz to 400KHz. Beyond that and up to 30MHz I am satisfied. Is there a way of filtering out this noise. I have tried various EMI mains filter modules but none appear to attenuate enough at that frequency band. They are very good at attenuating frequencies beyond 1MHz. I have tried inserting an isolation transformer before the LISN but this appears to distort the measurements. Can anyone recommend a solution? Many thanks in advance.
