Note:
If noise is a problem in the application, careful attention must be given to the method of grounding that is used in the system. Amplifier and motor grounding can play a significant role in how noise is generated in a machine.
Noise may be reduced in a motor-based system by the use of inductors placed between the motor and the amplifier.
