[ 2 ] Implementation of noise prevention measures
There are two types of noise prevention measures--one for noise propagation routes and the other for noise
receiving sides (that are affected by noise).
The basic measures for reducing the effect of noise at the receiving side include:
(1) Separating the main circuit wiring from the control circuit wiring, avoiding noise effect.
Measures on the noise-affected side are:
(2) Lower the noise level for example by installing a noise filter.
(3) Suppress the noise level for example by using a metal wiring pipe or metal control panel.
(4) Block the noise propagation route for example by using an insulation transformer for power source.
Table A.3-1 lists the Noise prevention measures, their goals, and propagation routes.
Table A.3-1 Noise prevention measures
Goal of noise
prevention measures
Make it more difficult to
receive noise
Separate main circuit from control circuit
Avoid parallel and bundled wiring
Use appropriate grounding
Use shielded wire and twisted shielded wire
Use shielded cable in main circuit
Appropriate arrangement of devices in panel
Measures taken on
noise-affected side
Use a decoupling capacitor for control circuit
Use ferrite core for control circuit
Separate power supply systems
Lower the carrier frequency
In the table, a column marked with Y shows a measure expected to produce an effect depending on the conditions.
An empty column shows an ineffective measure.
