I suspect some ferrite beads on the output lines helped with my rather
troublesome VFD noise problem. Though I also added an input filter and
shielded power cables at the same time, so don't have the data to
deconvolve the various effects.

The input filter was initially troublesome, tripping the ELCB in the
main supply. The solution I found was to power the VFD through a
zero-crossing SSR controlled by EMC2. As the mains voltage is always
zero at switch-on there is no current spike into the filter caps, and
no tripping of the breaker. So far it has been a 100% success for
about a year.
