Step 2 : Change the position of the noise source.
A) Leakage magnetic flux of transformer:

= weak
Move the instrument to a location
where the influence from magnetic
flux is weak.
B) Sparks

• Grounding: a decrease of impedance
The grounding method is the point of common mode noise suppression.

The difference in the potential to the ground between EUM
and the instrument may cause a ground current, resulting in noise.
Equalize the potentials to the ground so
that the common mode noise becomes zero.
One-point grounding
Potential equalization
The basic means to obtain stable measurement is to set the circuit potential with proper
grounding. Thus, potential equalization is the means to be adopted only when grounding is
impossible.
