Ground Loops: Grounding Series (Part 6)

What are Ground Loops?
Ground loops occur when two different points in an electrical circuit are intended to be at the same potential, but in fact, are at different electrical potential. Current will flow between whatever conductors are available in the circuit
Unintended current flow is what causes issues in electrical systems, like electrical “noise”, or interference in many different signals that are being transmitted

How to Avoid Ground Loops:
Make sure that all circuits, especially signal circuits, are referenced to one point as ground
Remove grounding connections at the various pieces of equipment through the system
If you remove these types of connections, make sure to implement proper grounding techniques to make sure they still have a path to ground through a single point
