Jun 21, 2019 at 17:34 comment added D.A.S. I misunderstood "I assumed the green/yellow cable is the neutral line," It is actually for earth ground direct connection. Is bench direct earth ground? 3. connecting earth connection to Neutral would not bypass EMI noise to earth. Connect to primary side only. Some chances for LC anti-resonant frequencies with higher impedance secondary source and we have no idea what your SMPS does with that..
Jun 21, 2019 at 17:28 comment added YNGVV 1-2. I did connect the grn/yel to Earth ground via the ESD cable. What's wrong with that? 3. This seems to contradict point #1. I didn't connect it to neutral, I connected it to ground. 4. Fair enough. I suspected as much, but my device does not draw more than an amp of current. Wrt your conclusion, I did do plenty of line filter installation research but none of it was as specific as the instructions you are giving now. Why would the buck cause thermal issues or excessive loading?
