    Influence of Noise Appx. 6 Influence of Noise When induction noise is caused by commercial power supply Induction noise caused by a commercial power supply is generated by not only commercial power lines or power outlets but also by fluorescent lights and household electrical appliances. The noise caused by a commercial power supply depends on the frequency of the power supply and is generated at a frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
  • Page 188 Influence of Noise Influence of conductive noise In addition to inductive noise superimposed on the equipment to be measured or measurement leads, there is conductive noise. Conductive noise indicates noise superimposed on a power line or control line, such as a USB, etc. Various devices, including a motor, welder, inverter, etc.
  • Page 189 Influence of Noise It is efficient to take measures for conductive noise by monitoring with the HIOKI 3145 Noise HiLogger. When the entry route is identified, taking the measures as shown in the figure below is effective. Isolation Controller (PC, PLC)
