Hi Jack, The simple boding of neutral to ground, as you offered elsewhere, suits the RF ground path. If there's an isolation transformer, such as may be found in the common wall wart, you may be assured that the interwinding capacitance is suitably high enough to overcome any notion of being isolated at RF. Precision and low noise applications that demand higher quality isolation between primary and secondary mandate a faraday shield between them. This shield only insures an RF path to ground that is optimized for tight coupling - it has no other purpose. 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC |
