4.5  Connecting the RF Reference Ground 

The V-network is connected to the PE protective earth conductor of the power supply 
through the protective earth conductor terminal. However, this is unsuitable as an RF 
reference mass for interference voltage measurement. Therefore, the V-network must 
be connected to an appropriate RF reference ground to obtain reproducible and correct 
measurement results.  

The RF reference mass used be connected over a wide metal sheet with eleven M6 
screws (1) flatly to the side-installed ground bar (see 

Fig. 5

).
