Buy the sjostrom audio dc blocker, the 6 cap version. Better than all the small units, 16 amp and 8v of dc cleaning power. Perfect for bigger bmu, have two friends using it on 1500va and a 3kva unit.

Colin, sort out your link. Yes I agree, build your own is peanuts cost wise, but your link does not open properly. I would much appreciate seeing this.

Nice one, although can be done cheaper locally.

My DC blocker gave up the ghost earlier in the week. Difficult to say if it had an effect on SQ with the new Cat 8 ethernet cable running in, but the BMU was buzzing at times. I suspected and hoped the problem was with the mains lead so I bought a kettle lead on Ebay for a few quid. Connected it and the DC blocker is working again with the BMU completely silent. :grin:

Great when it actually turns out to be a minor fix instead of a major disaster, isn't it? :grin:
