Tech tip: Console grounding
Posted: Sat Jun 02, 2007 5:08 am
Saw an email from a client today:
Good question. Can you just connect the console to the power supply, since the supply is grounded? The answer is no, you can't take a shortcut here. The console should always have an independent connection direct to a ground point, whether it's station ground or some other ground point. This prevents ground loop generation, as well as the possibility of spiking two devices instead of one.Is it ok to connect the ground to the Element PSU which is grounded via power socket?
