It is important to perform the grounding correctly for the following reasons:
To design a system that is not harmed by detected minor connection errors.
To design a system that works well and is resistant to EMI.
To minimize the effects of ground currents that can cause unstable measurements.
The following sections provide recommendations for designing a good working system.
