Talk:Common-mode signal

[edit]

Please try to remove some of the techno jargon used in the article, by finding another way to describe the same thing in people talk terms. Thing like: the signal is transferred by differential voltage, the common-mode signal is a half-sum of voltages and to prevent egress of noise for electromagnetic compatibility purposes etc. --Jahibadkaret (talk) 13:49, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

“Differential voltage” and “voltage difference” are redundant?

[edit]

Voltage is already a difference of two electric potentials, the ones at the two points where the voltage is measured. So saying “voltage difference” seems redundant, which is used in this article. Should we change it to just “voltage”? Alej27 (talk) 00:32, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No. That is the way it is used in reliable sources. Differential voltage and common mode voltage usually refer to voltage modes of the balanced transmission line. As such, differential voltage has a meaning separate from voltage. Constant314 (talk) 01:28, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
