I'm in a room with pretty crappy power and grounding and am trying to improve common mode noise best I can.
What I'd ideally like is to just run everything off a battery, but I run a lot of experiments that go for several days and I don't want to think about a battery. I know there are these double-conversion UPSes, but I don't know if that means I'm truly ever galvanically isolated from the wall. I would personally design something with two batteries, a hold-over cap bank, and a set of relays that exchange the battery that is being charged and the battery powering the electronics. Is this how they work? I have maybe $2k to play with, so things like the Eaton 9130 are definitely an option, I just don't know how they work.
There's also the option of a ferroresonant transformer, but I don't have the impression that these do much for common mode noise. Maybe they do? What's the typical shunting capacitance from input to output? It's not so much that the incoming sine wave is dirty -- plus, all my equipment is reasonably new and has high performance LDOs. I don't imagine much differential noise is making its way into my data.
Maybe there's some fundamental misunderstanding in what I'm asking for here, if so, I'd always appreciate help asking the right question!
