Adam,

Not much in the details. I parallel, with brass or copper buss bars, as 
many standard CD, (or whatever brand I happen to have on hand) 20 or 30 
amp  EMI filters to meet the required current capacity. My current 
control cabinet has four 30 amp filters running in parallel. I also have 
a couple stand alone filters in the lab for visitors who want to show 
their coils, one is a single 30 amp and the other consists of four 
paralleled 20 amp units.
