I’m wondering if anyone has a technical explanation as to why the following occurred.
I have an x-10 light switch operating that was supposed to be operating a lamp. The switch is on the same circuit as a noisy TV that even a filter did not help. I could never turn the lamp on or off, other than manually with the switch, if the TV was plugged in.
Recently I purchased another computer that was creating noise on another circuit so I decided to move the computer to the circuit with the noisy TV. I thought it might be better just to have one light not working.
Much to my surprise the light that is now on the circuit with the noisy TV and noisy computer works perfectly.
I know that noise is not additive but I also didn’t think that one noise source could cancel another source. Any explanation ?
