Basic connections to DUT
Shields and guarding
Noise shield connections
shows typical noise shielding for the two triax connector
configurations. A noise shield is used to prevent unwanted signals from being
induced into the test circuit. A test current below 1
μ
A may benefit from effective
shielding. Typically, the metal noise shield surrounds the DUT and is connected to
Output Low.
Safety shield connections
A safety shield must be used whenever hazardous voltages (
>
30Vrms, 42Vpeak)
will be present. The metal safety shield must completely surround DUT test
circuitry and must be connected to a known Safety Earth Ground and Chassis
(see
). Use #18AWG wire or larger for connection to safety Earth
Ground and Chassis.
