Section VIl. RADIO INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION
4-15.
General Methods Used to Attain Proper Suppression. Essentially, suppression is attained by
providing a low resistance path to ground for stray currents. The methods used include shielding igni-
tion and high-frequency wires, grounding the frame with bonding straps, and using filtering systems.
4-16.
Radio Interference Suppression Components. All component parts on the power plant end
item, whose primary or secondary function is radio interference suppression, are on the generator
sets. Refer to TM 5-6115-464-12 for location of radio interference suppression components.
