Antique Radio Technical Forum
AC/DC receiver and floating ground

Posted by Scott on 02/07/2010 07:38

Thanks ....this helps clear the brain block. I couldn't get through my head how the grounding of components on the floating ground line achieved actual ground.....dah.....but they pass through cap and resistor to chassis. ----Danger, beginner at work!


::Floating ground is what's also known as the B- buss line.
::It is not the chassis ground.

:To keep things a little safer, instead of connecting one side of the power line directly to the chassis of the radio, they connect it to a "floating ground" that is seperated from "chassis ground" by a resistor and a capacitor, to make the radio a litle bit safer, with minimum loss of performance.
