I have a recollection that at one point VDE required the choke in the ground line of the LISN. Vaguely remembered it had to do with extremely long build grounds as in high rise buildings etc, or the possibility of no ground wire. I seem to remember some connection with shielded power cables as well. Anyone else have any recollection of this? Gary McInturff

In this case it will be also be present on the ground lead. To reduce this noise "ground chokes" are used. It is also extra attenuation for common mode currents.

Heller/US-Corporate/3M/US) Subject: Doubt on LISN utilization Hello All, I have a LISN from EMCO and it has a "Ground Choke". What's the goal of this Ground Choke? Is it really needed in the conducted measurements? Could somebody make this clear to me?
