Interference-free cabling

Interference-free cabling

Martin Tenhumberg and Werner Wölfle, Traco Power

Long lines for distributed loads can emit and be susceptible to interference which can affect the connected loads. However, the loads work without disruption as long as a few basic rules are observed when it comes to cabling. Moderndevices and systems are generally complex, their electrical/electronic components
