Double shielding is strongly recommended to maximum disturbance reduction. Attach
the signal ground to an inner shield of the double shielded cable. The inner shield is
as close as possible to a potential that is equal to the common mode voltage of the
bridge. The shield now minimizes the potential difference between the internal conduc-
tors and the inner shield, thereby reducing the amount and levels of partial discharges
between them. In all cases, the shield is terminated only at the conditioner terminal.
When the inner shield is surrounded by an outer shield that is terminated to ground
at the mainframe connector. The ground shield is used to keep most of the external
disturbances away.
