Get a cable ferrite for the diameter of your power cord. No need for the locking feature. Snap it on at the plug and hold it in place with a small zip tie. Other brands are available at online retailers as well.

The line conditioner will balance the A/C power supply and provide surge protection. This may be more than you need.

I have my A&D FX120I and Chargemaster Lite running into a Tripp Lite LC1800 (thanks @dok7mm ). Every now and then I can hear it 'clicking' and I can go check it and sure enough the yellow indicator light will be on meaning there is something jacking around with the power (probably on the providers end) and I know it's doing it's job.

Plenty of line conditioner offerings out there, +1 on the Tripp Lite stuff. They also make line filters for guitar pedals that may do the job.

I got a Frankfort intelladropper coming, because my Hornady is throwing a error and I was worried about drift. I heard filters will help against it. Now I'm wondering if my wife's wireless cell phone charger next to her bedside is the reason my Hornady is throwing error and drifting, it sits directly above my powder charging station in my reloading room.

I'm certainly no expert, but my Chargemaster Lite (load-cell technology) does not drift. Both it and my A&D continuously show the same 'negative tare weight' with the pans removed......and as such I do not worry about calibration unless the power goes completely out in the whole house. Then I have to recalibrate both...
My wife & daughters have all kinds of junk charging all around the external perimeter of my reloading room. Scales don't seem to be affected when running through a Tripp Lite. However, I haven't tested without it.

The time line from my scale acting up and her using that charger is adding up. As far as she knows, I needed the new powder drop... lol

Grab a Tripp Lite and blame the 'need' for that on all the electrical interference from chargers, hairdryer's and such. Sometimes it's better to just ask for forgiveness later than to ask for permission beforehand.

I'm getting a Tripp Lite 1200W for my Autotrickler.

I've been using a battery backup/surge protector with my scale(s) for 15+ years. Written about it here on other threads.
Works!!

 

[Varmint Hunter]

I've never used anything with my RCBS Chargemaster and didn't realize there was any need to. ?????????????

 

[BillLarson]

I use one on my A&D 120i.it helps
Also i,ve got it on a separate line.
Also on a separate steel bench.
Measures powder quick and reliably to +/- .02gr.accuracy.
