When troubleshooting signal noise in a sensor circuit, why is the drain wire of a shielded cable connected to the chassis ground at only one end?



Connecting a cable shield to the chassis ground at only one end prevents the formation of a ground loop. A ground loop occurs when two points in a circuit intended to be at the same potential (zero volts) actually have a slight voltage difference between them, causing current to flow through the shield. Because....
