We had a well for 38 years, went through three 4 HP down-hole pumps, and
I never observed any RFI from it or the control/capacitor box at the
well head. The 240 V service to the entrance was buried. The pump ran
a lot when the irrigation system was on [making Pacific Gas & Electric

This is gross over-simplification, but it is, sadly, the thinking of the
EMC community and the regulations on EMC.
I've written extensively on this, so won't repeat it here. Here's the

Frankly, I've never checked to see if the down-hole pump is an RFI
source... Only use the well when I am outside for the most part...
That's why I solicited Jim's opinion of the case.
I'll have to run a purposely test.
I would think I could filter at/near where the AC lines go in/out of the

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT A/C RFI
There's basically two types of RFI.
Conducted --- Being noise/RFI traveling through the wiring thus via
direct connection. Conducted RFI can be attenuated to satisfactory
levels by including a power line filter in the system {preferably at the
source}. The filter suppresses conducted noise le
Clay,
Given that the pump is far, far underground, as is most of the wiring, I
would expect it to be a trivial matter to filter the AC line, which
should be the only thing radiating... Was that the case for you?

H Jim... I have a variable speed down-hole pump on my water
well... reckon that could cause RFI via the AC wiring?
The down-hole pump is 220VDC on dedicated circuit, and shack is on a
separate dedicated circuit from same service with separate sub-panel.

Thanks Jim!
I passed on the variable speed fan option as a result of the vendor
telling me I should skip it to avoid possible RFI.
He also said it made little difference in performance... BTW I have no
detectable RFI from my system.

When this goes off list please add me as well... Don't tell them what

The timing is perfect. Please keep it on the list or add me to your direct
