New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
Hello,
Newbie here and electrical idiot. Just moved to a new to us house in Tampa. Before we moved in I had an electrician put in a dedicated line (has it's own breaker switch) which is 10 gauge and two Furutech GTX-D outlets - Rhodium.
When I hooked up the EMI meter in my old house, which didn't have a dedicated line, the reading was usually around 26 or so IIRC. At the new house the outlets are 89 usually and the dedicated line is usually around 82 - so not much help for the cost of the "project" and pretty noisy.
Also, when the ac /hvac is running the meter reads about 100 points higher (!) for both the regular outlets and the dedicated Furutechs. Not good.
Thoughts? Does the dedicated line need it's own breaker box?
I'm also considering a line conditioner but wanted to see what could be done here. Thanks.

Is the grounding electrode only 6 ft deep in the earth? If so unless it rains a lot and soil moisture content is high you have a poor high resistance ground, imo... I hope this is not the only earth connection for your electrical service. The System Ground, Grounding Electrode System, is mainly for lightning protection. It also somewhat protects the electrical service from a high voltage fault of the high voltage power line onto the low voltage secondary side of the power transformer from entering your house. The lower the resistance of the Grounding Electrode System the better. IEEE recommends 5 ohms or less. Example of grounding electrode depths in the earth.

I would guess you have a good low resistance grounding electrode. I wouldn't be be surprised if it measures 5 ohms or less. A practical guide to earth resistance testing
