Abstract

Potentials between ‘grounded’ surfaces in a RF shielded room can cause interference in sensitive equipment. RF shielded rooms such as those used for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners are examples of equipment susceptible to interference as a result of imperceptible arcs. These tiny arcs are usually intermittent making them problematic for troubleshooting.
