Nom.
Ground wire chokes for HF (high frequency) or LF (low frequency)
purposes are often used in the radio interference suppression field
as an additional interference suppression element to interference
suppression chokes and interference suppression capacitors.
These types of chokes permit the building of a system free of
ground wire loops. Ground wire chokes can only be put on the
market if they meet the relevant specifications (e.g. VDE and SEV).

Application:
DEN/DEH earth line chokes are very often used, if within the sys-
tems, earth conductor loops are to be taken into consideration.
(Interconnection of several peripheral apparatus with a computer
on locally installed wall sockets).
Errors in the system caused by earth conductor loops are to be
found in the LF-field as well as in the HF-field. In many cases the
error can be eliminated by separating the mains earth line, using
an earth line choke.
