Faraday Shielding
Faraday Shield A common conductor connection at one end to provide electrostatic shielding without effecting electromagnetic waves. The common point connection is normally grounded. This graphic shows the case of a transformer connected as a Faraday Shield between to two windings of the primary and secondary.
Faraday Shield
A common Faraday Shield connection is also formed with a shielded cable inter-connecting between two different equipment chassis. The Faraday Shield is formed by the cable shield, while the inner conductor connects both electronic chassis to transmit signals. The cable shield is only terminated or connected to one of the chassis while the other end of the cable shield is left unterminated.
Faraday Cage; A grounded wire screen or cage made of a number of parallel wires.
