Re: Are ferrite rings bad for power cords?

I have found that applying a ferrite clamp to the Earth GND. wire only on a 3 pole cable can provide very surprising results.

Alot of RF garbage is riding on the Earth/safety GND wire and reducing this noise is beneficial.

Of course, with most power cords, this will be very difficult to implement and one may need to apply the ferrite clamp inside ones power conditioner if one is used. Or it can be applied behind the AC outlet on the mains cable Earth GND wire.
