Ferrite, chokes, and RFI

“My child was misbehaving, so I fixed that problem by just wrapping him around some ferrite.”

great job. No long winded introduction and real life solutions. Thank you.

Very helpful. I needed to see real-world examples of fixing these problems. Thanks

Your family is very tolerant and patient

I googled "How do I turn all of my long cables into 6" cables" and found this video... :) Seriously though, I will be buying a few cores from you...

This guy taking ferrite seriously

I have a video as well for ferrites vs stray RF, more or so in layman's terms. This here is a great video too, thorough and precise. 73's✌

Thank you for the video. Simple yet clear. 👍

Sewing machine running by itself? Crazy yet interesting. Two common ones at home for me is dimmer switches to AM radio and the coffee grinder to TV signals.

Great video, but anyone with that much trouble with RF on the house, may be in need of antenna adjustments!

Hi Chris, first of all let me thank you for your video, it has educated me to no end. I have a rfi problem I would like your advice with. I run a professional music studio and am always trying my best to cut down on noise and interference . Recently I have had a dimmer switch installed on the studios lights. The dimmer switch is an old school MK type double switch not a new led one.. One dimmer for each rooms lighting circuit. I am using new Phillips led warm white bulbs which are great for my studios lighting bills and have been designed to work/dim with regular old dimmers. Indeed the Phillips led bulbs dim perfectly and smoothly, even better using the old mk dimmer than the Chinese led dimmer I had before. However, now it seems that with the dimmer installed I am picking up much more interference in the room while recording. The classic one is a single coil pickup in a guitar. It goes crazy with interference when the lights are on and then shuts up when I turn the lights off. Same with guitar amplifiers. Of course I know that guitar pickups and tube amps always pickup interference anyway it's just that the audible volume of said interference has got much louder since I fitted the dimmer. Please is there any way I can choke/suppress or isolate the dimmer switch in order to reduce the noise/interference without having to sacrifice the dimmer and go back to the standard on full of off switch? Perhaps ferrite beads on the connections to the dimmer? Or do I have to spend a lump on a 1:1 isolating transformer and completely isolate the lighting circuit from the rest of the power in the studio. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

We have the same dryer. Worked great. 25 yrs and counting

Legend has it that he was so fed up of his wife’s interference that bound her in ferrite 😂 now she’s very quiet 😂

Lol I just learned something! Yes, my attention was weakening at the time you mentioned it. Thanks!!! Green video

Your sewing machine started by itself. Time to put down the ferrite and call a priest.

Very well put together video thanks

Wish I had seen this before. Might have saved me a lot of grief. Thanks

Excellent simple, straightforward examples. Thanks. K0KK

I'm not a ham user, but I've always wondered what those things were and what they did. If I ever start picking up local AM/RF interference again, now I know what to do!
