    Need help to suppress interference in a power supply.

    Hello friends, I just modified 110~220v 12V 100 amp JD200 server power supply(from dell poweredge6800) for my high current needs.I had to reroute the AC input from front of the supply to the back.Its working good but i am having strange problem.It works fine during the day but sometimes it shuts down and error led lights up (LED displays over voltage,under voltage,over current or fan error)during night(after ~7-8pm).
    I am not an expert and could be 100% wrong but suspecting that interference in the power line is max at that time and because i rerouted the power cord and its very close to the circuit board which monitors voltage and current errors and somehow its tripping the error.Please check the attached picture showing power cord runing close to the daughter board which monitors the voltage and current.
    So could anybody please suggest me how to remove interference?Can i use a snapable ferrite core on the ac input cable?Or any other way?Thanks

    Did you replace the fan already?

      If the fan is running, are all of the case covers installed?
      It could be overheating due to poor airflow when all of the covers are not installed.
      My first choice in quality Japanese electrolytics is Nippon Chemi-Con, which has been in business since 1931... the quality of electronics is dependent on the quality of the electrolytics.

        Yes i am running it with all fans installed and the cover closed.So heat is not an issue.

          what happens if you put an online ups in front of it to condition the power all the time?

            Did you have the problem before the modification?
            Did you monitor the LINE Voltage feeding it?

              Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
              by Tynan Dill
              I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

              Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

              I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

              The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

              With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

              Assuming...

              Desoldering gun station modified to use a 18 volt @ 20 amp switching power supply
              by sam_sam_sam
              I have wanting to do this project for quite sometime now and I finally found a switching power supply that will work on this desoldering gun station ZD-915 that the original switching power supply took a shit and just was not worth trying to fix it because this switching power is not quite big enough to handle the heater element and the vacuum pump

              One note when I tested the switching power supply and the voltage control board I noticed that this desoldering gun heat up much faster than the original switching power supply which I was really surprised by to the point that I might buy...

              Modification to a ZD-987 desoldering/soldering station using a external switching power supply
              by sam_sam_sam
              I have been working on this concept for quite some time now with limited success but recently I found a switching power supply that is setup for the voltage that this soldering station needs to operate at however it also needs part of the secondary circuit from the original switching power because you need several voltage rails

              I once tried to get a ZD-915 desoldering station to work on a 18 volt battery power supply but unfortunately things did not go well but I did find a work around but I might try this idea again but going at a little differently more about this another time...

              Definitive technology SC 2000 subwoofer amp's power supply clicking and popping
              by JimBanville
              The sub developed a constant popping every couple seconds from woofer and power LED flickering with nothing but wall AC connected. Connecting an audio cable didn't change anything. It doesn't play but a second or two of audio in between the pops.
              Opened it up and discovered the power supply is making a faint clicking or ticking sound.
              I measured the amp's output to the woofer and it pulses up to 50mv DC to be driver. The pulses coincide with the power supply ticking/clicking.
              I measured the power supply output going to the amp board and it too has this pulsing. Voltage cycles...
