Countermeasures Against Noise
Conductive noise can be monitored with the Hioki 3145 Noise HiLogger while measures are taken. If the
penetration path has been specied, follow the measures shown in Figure 6.

Separating the power line
It is best to connect power systems and welding machines to a power from a dierent system than the
instrument.
Install the common mode lter (EMI choke) to the penetration path.
Common mode lters are more eective if you choose ones with high-impedance and install several of them.
Insulation
Optically isolating the control line will improve the susceptibility to noise.
In Addition, optically isolating the power line with a noise-cut transformer will improve the susceptibility to noise
improves.
However, keep in mind that if the ground line is shared by the source side wiring of the transformer and the
load side wiring of it, the eect may be diminished.
