General

Since we cannot manage/control whole electrical connections among
components in SuperKEK ring, Belle-II detector ground/shield shouldbe electrically isolated from all accelerator components(incl. beampipe).

Well-controlled grounding : Each sub-detectors need todefine a local ground independently and later connect it todetector experiment ground.

Sub-detector level
Each sub-detector or a group of subdetectors should be in shielded enclosure
which is defined as “local ground”, and theshield should be tightly bonded to otherdetector shield (local ground of the detector)
or the nearest metal plate/structure which is apart of MESH/Plate common bonding
network(CBN). (see. Inside and Outside of theshield, and Bonding and interconnection)!

!
Outside the shield - If it is difficult to use single
shield for EMC control(ex. power supply orother electronics devices are located at theoutside of Belle-II structure), Shielded cablesor optical devices are strongly recommended
for the interconnection. If you cannot use thembecause of some reasons, cable routing andthe filter for EMI should be will designed. The
electronics outside of Belle-II structure shouldbe also in a shield metal and the shield isbonded to the nearest ground.(see. Bonding
and interconnection, and Basic treatment for ashielded enclosure and interconnection.)

Inside a product - It is best to be prepared (by design) to add metalwork or conductors asnecessary. Instead of metalwork, low-cost metal foil, conductively coated plastics, or thinsheets of metal-coated plastic or cardboard could be used instead.!
!
Outside a product - It is usually possible to provide a nearby conductive path for CM returncurrent, such as a metal conduit, cable tray or metal wall or floor.

Eﬀect of ﬂoating conductor
Figure 2B shows the frequencies we typically use for AC power, radio communications, etc., over the frequency range10Hz to
2.5GHz with some typical electrical and electronic noise spectra superimposed on top. This clearly shows that we have tokeep our electrical and electronic noises contained within our products and cables, prevented from leaking into the wider
environment. Figure 2C shows the same spectrum as Figure 2B, but the vertical axis has been changed to meters and lines
have been added to show the accidental antenna behavior of a typical straight conductor in free space, driven at one
end by a low-impedance source and with a high-impedance load at its other end. Such conductors resonate at frequencies atwhich their length is an integer multiple of a quarter-wavelength, and at those frequencies they are supremely efficientantennas. The bold line in Figure 2C shows the curve of length versus frequency for a conductor that is one quarter of awavelength long. Below their first resonance, such conductors convert almost all of the signals they are carrying attheir resonant frequency into electric fields launched into the air.

Bonding and Interconnection
Since it is difficult to use star bonding(single point grounding/earthing) for RF shielding in general.(see. ghost/misunderstanding of ground/shield loop), the meshed common bonding network (MESH-CBN) is using instead of single point grounding in computer housing,telecommunication, aerospace etc.
Figure 2C shows the recommended common bonding scheme for a fixed installation, often called mesh earthing. This achieves a low
impedance from 50Hz up to higher frequencies (depending on average mesh size).

!

Meshing the CBN helps protect equipment against the damaging effects of lightning surges, and surge protection devices (SPDs) function
better when they are connected to a low-impedance CBN. For lightning protection (where most of the energy occurs at frequencies below
10kHz), it is generally recommended that no part of a site should have a CBN whose mesh size exceeds 3 or 4 metres, in any dimension.

Belle-II is better than this example. We can use Belle-II structure as CBN, when the bonding in the Belle-IIstructure is well designed and managed.

Return Path
There are always some CM currents and voltages, and we must control them to achieve good EMC. To do this, we use theconductive chassis or external ’earth/ground’ as our CM return path. To reduce emissions and improve immunity, theCM current’s send/return loop should have as small an area as possible, and we achieve this by routing our cables very
close to metalwork or bonding conductors along their entire route. !

!

Direct electrical connections are best but not necessarily essential for the CM current return path; capacitors of suitable types
and values can be used in series with the CM return path to achieve galvanic isolation at the frequencies used by the electrical
power supply whilst allowing the RF CM current to flow in the smallest loop area.!

!

In conclusion: we design our metal interconnections to control our send/return current paths, to minimize DM to CM
conversion and reduce CM currents and voltages; then we control the CM send/return current paths (wherever we can).

Treatment of cable shield
to a connector•

All shielded cables must have their shields bonded 360 to theenclosureʼs wall at their point of entry.

•

It is always very important to bond cable shields metal to metal andnot to use a pig tail(see. next page)

pigtail : to ground/shield caseFig. was copied from ref[2]Part 2.6.5 Figure 2W

How shielded interconnections work 1
In ideal case(i.e. metal-to-metal connection between cable’s shield and enclosure shield without a hole: 360° shield coverage) external
noise currents restricted by skin effect to the “outside surface” of the shield, and the conductor’s emissions are restricted by skineffect to the “inner surface” of the shield and returned directly to the original circuits.!

!

“Pigtail and/or incomplete connection between shield of cable and shield of enclosure” ruins the RF shielding performance of the cable,
allowing external surface currents to access internal circuits and devices (causing problems for immunity), and allowing internal surface
currents to access external surfaces (causing problems for emissions).!
Any length of pigtail ruins the shielding performance of cable shields at RF, as Figure 2Y shows using the example of a 25-way
subminiature D-type.! L Hoeft, "Analysis of Electromagnetic Shielding of Cables and Connectors", 2002 IEEE International Symposium on EMC•

The correct way to install filters is to ensure that an area of the enclosure’s shield wall is freefrom paint or anodizing, and has a highly conductive surface that will be pressed firmly against
the filter’s metal body when it is assembled.!

!
Figure 3V shows the sorts of bad effects that even a short length of interconnecting wire canhave on a standard single-stage mains filter even when measured with 50Ω/50Ω source and load
impedances - its best possible case. If the 10mm wire were replaced with at least one direct
metal-to-metal bond, performance at 30MHz and above would improve dramatically.

Diﬀerential Mode(DM) and Common Mode(CM)•Ghost/misunderstanding of ground/shield loop.

Cable segregation

Diﬀerential Mode(DM) and Common Mode(CM)Differential mode(DM)!
In virtually all cases the wanted or intended signal current(s)within the cable are flowing in differential mode. That is, two
conductors in the cable are devoted to each signal: one carries the "flow" or "go" current and the other the "return" current.
The designers of the equipment at each end have allocated connector pins for each conductor and the source and load
circuits are connected to these pins. If the circuit could be considered entirely in isolation, the only current that would beflowing in these conductors would be that due to the intended signal. This description applies equally to power or signal
circuits.The important point is that the current in one half of the conductor pair matches and reflects the current in the otherhalf.Whether or not the circuit is "balanced", i.e. the voltages are symmetrical about earth or some other fixed reference, is
not relevant to the differential mode classification.!

!

Common mode(CM)!
The common mode currents are almost invariably unintentional or undesired side effects of the required signals, or they are
wholly a result of external disturbances. The common mode currents are those which are flowing on all conductors of thecable equally in the same direction, and therefore returning via some external path. They can be seen as due to two principal
causes !
(1) Iflow is not equal to Ireturn in a conductor pair; the difference between these differential mode currents is the common
mode current and is directly related to the signal carried on the cable; !
(2) external influences, unrelated to the power or signal being carried, couple with the cable equally on all conductors andinduce current equally on all conductors - the cable appears as a single conducting structure. !
These two causes can be modeled separately but both are usually present in a typical EMC situation.!

!

EMC design techniques for metal conductor interconnects are all about controlling the physical (i.e. geometrical)
relationships between the send and return current paths, for both the differential-mode (DM) and common-mode (CM)currents. The DM currents and voltages are our wanted signals or power, whilst CM currents and voltages are associatedwith the accidental ’leakage’ from our DM signals due to stray capacitance and inductance. !

!

Conversion of DM into CM currents and voltages always happens in any real-life circuit, and in most applications is
responsible for most of our EMC emissions problems above about 1MHz. The reverse process of CM-DM conversion is
responsible for most immunity problems above about 1MHz. The exception is in applications where the metal chassis isused as the DM current return path, where DM currents and voltages can be significant above 1MHz. It is very bad EMC
practice to use a chassis as a DM current return.

“Single point grounding”!
Ground loops are a problem of the CM impedance coupling of single-sided signals using
single point earthing. Traditional installation practice uses single-point earthing/grounding andcable shield termination at only one end, to avoid creating ground loops.!
M.Tanaka thinks this is still effective method for small size system inside of shielded
enclosure, but not enough for present Belle-II system.!

!
“Multipoint/plate ground network”!
The single-point grounding method is that it is impossible to use it to control RF currents - theground wires have too much impedance to be effective, and behave as accidental antennas,
causing interference problems. As has been shown above, the best connections for an RFshield are 360ø terminations at both ends.!

!
1. The first step of effective shielding is to always connect the shield to the chassis of the
product the low impedances in the product’s metalwork will divert most of the current awayfrom the sensitive circuits and into the ground structure.!
2. The next step is to recognize that there are noisy potential differences between the chassisof different items, and so to interconnect them using balanced (differential) signaling circuits,
optical device, and the better the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) of the circuits at thepower supply frequency, the lower will be the resulting noise due to the chassis voltage
differences.!

Cable segregation
Class 1: cables carrying very sensitive signals. This can usefully be split into Class 1a for very sensitive
analogue signals, and Class 1b for very sensitive digital signals.!
Class 2: cables carrying slightly sensitive signals.!
Class 3: cables carrying slightly interfering signals (ex. the 230VAC mains supply).!
Class 4: cables carrying strongly interfering signals (ex. 1kVACrms or 1500VDC or peak).
Classes 1 and 4 should always use shielded cables and connectors along their entire route. Where this is not possible,
EMC problems should be expected and mitigation measures may need to be applied.
M. Tanaka thinks we will take care class 2~3 cables. (All class 1 cables are in the sub-detector’s enclosure.)
Once we have the cables classified, we segregate
their routes according to their class, always keeping
them very close to a CM return path. There should be
as much space as possible between each class (orsub-class) but it is very difficult indeed to specify what
the spacing should be, because it depends upon thetypes, qualities and lengths of the cables, and the
EMC performance of the electrical and electronic
circuits connected to them.!
However, a very crude guide for cables of 500mm longor more is to separate parallel runs of cables insideproducts by at least 100mm between classes 1-2, 2-3
or 3-4. This means 200mm between classes 1-3 or
2-4, and 300mm between 1 and 4, as shown in Figure.
For parallel cable runs outside a product up to 30m
long and close to CM return path - use at least 150mm
between classes 1-2 and 3-4, but 300mm between
classes 2-3. For more than 30m, increase these
spacings proportionally (e.g. doubling them for a run of
60m).!
