Ground Loop

Eldartford knows all.

Connect all chasses together, so that you have one electrical point, use large guage wire. Now use one path to earth from the chassis - i.e. one wire. This should eliminate a ground loop problem.

Timrhu...I have been described by fellow workers as a walking encylopedia of useless information. It makes life interesting.

Musicnoise: Please excuse the question but how do I connect the chasses together? Do I run the cable through the venting slots, tape the wire down to each component, use any method I can think of? When you say to run the wire to earth, what would be a good example of earth to connect to?

Mordenmail, you could use screws in the chassis connected to a spade. The best ground you would probably have is your wall plug ground. You could connect the final wire to the ground plug on a male ac plug. Neither the hot or the neutral should have any connection to them.

I suspect that you would have to lift the ac grounds of all of your ac cords or you would introduce a third path to ground and worse hum. I have never tried this solution.
