Re: The power distribution in a house can be an excellent antenna

"Industrial applications can be far more demanding, but I have not found the need to go any further than what I have outlined above for home use."

For mission critical applications, the degree of power protection depends on the application. About 20 years ago in two nearly identical installations in the same facility using Liebert PMC saturable core reactor/capacitor bank power conditioning technology and computer grade isolation transformer PDUs, protection allowed one data center comprised mostly of Sperry mainframes to ride through a momentary interruption while another fed from the same substation where the computers were comprised mostly of Controlled Data mainframes crashed in the same incident. Later, UPSs became the backup/conditioner of choice when data center managers realized the cost of an interruption was greater than the cost of the installation of better backup. Now dual pathing and better are often SOP. Some scientific laboratories see it the same way. Conventional conditioners, even for desktop applications are often now considered insufficient and only a UPS is satisfactory.

BTW, in special applications such as hydrogen cooled gas spectrometers, backup is also required for hydrogen gas flow while still maintaining protection from catastrophic system failure which could result in a serious fire. They get as much protection as they are willing to pay for. That's the nature of an insurance policy.
