So I've been having an issue with a slightly wavy monitor. My chassis is fully rebuilt.
I searched around and found that a bad ground might be the issue. Looking at my setup I see line power with ground coming into a EMI filter. It leaves and goes into a distro block with a fuse inline and sends power to the isolation transformer.
It's odd there is no ground after the EMI filter and the FG for the power supply is jumped to the input grounds.
So my question is "is this ok" or should the FG be grounded directly to the outlet?
If it is "ok" then is a bad PS the cause of my wavy picture?
