Hi Ian, 
When you used the isolation transformer how did you have the earth connected or 
isolated? 

I have seen similar issues, I used an isolation transformer but connected the 
earth  or used a separate earth connection, I think I remember this  solved it. 

You could try finding the source of the noise, 
how certain are you that the LISN is not faulty? 
Normally they filter out emissions very well, could it be the LISN is faulty 
and passing the noise through or creating the noise it the first place? 
Can you run a set up to look at how noisy your mains supply is without any 
product connected to it? 
regards Darren.

high conducted rf emissions as I assume the ac is derived from high frequency

Subject: [PSES] Mains Conducted rf emissions measurements    Dear Colleagues.   
 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.    Ian McBurney Lead Compliance Engineer.    Allen & Heath
