In order to minimize the effect of electromagnetic interference and differences in potential, the signal ground and ground (or shielding) are designed to be physically separate in the HBM devices. The grounded supply connector or a separate ground potential lead should serve as the ground connection, as is the case for potential compensation in buildings, for example.
