My first VFD came with a built in filter. However, this tripped the 30mA protection on my consumer unit so I swapped the VFD for one without a filter. Works a treat but every time I use the lathe it upsets my modem/router. Can anyone recommend a filter that does not have sufficient earth leakage to upset the trip? ArcEuro do one, has anybody any experience with this?

cheers,

Rod

Have you thought of trying a filter from a washing machine, they all have one fitted. and are pretty good and cheap.Ted
