Grounding at one end only, usually the end which is closest to the source of the power. Grounding at one end allows spikes and RFI to be sent to ground efficiently.

To emphasize what Barry has written even if you take it off it may still look clean but may not be. So be sure to clean it vigorously. One thing though if you have to clean aluminium don't use steel wool, aluminium oxide paper is safe to clean aluminium. Shards of steel or iron will imbed itself into aluminium and cause corrosion in the aluminium. #2 Full agreement if in doubt ground it out! #3 Again full agreement but the shielding is to protect from outside interference. #4 The only RF circuits that should be grounded at both ends are Coaxial connections. Of course coax is used almost entirely for RF transmissions. Again the ground braid needs to be clean! #5 Again I'm in total agreement with Barry but... Sometimes alternator squeal will penetrate the front end of your radios. In that case you will need a choke on the input to the radio to filter out the squeal. A choke is a circuit that comprises a capacitor and a coil of wire. The good news is they are readily available at auto parts shops. Not often I agree with everything a person says but this is really one of the exceptions that makes the rule... Well written Barry.

YOU HAVE TO REMOVE IT... And while it is off clean CLEAN the contacts and replace the star washers.. 2 - GROUNDS - The more the merrier. It took a LONG time but even Bob Nicholes FINALLY caught on and NOW SELLS multi ground point blocks. I use to frequent his web site/email list and pounded my case for about a year. But old wives tails die hard. 3 - GROUNDS - Ground Loops do NOT occur at DC. They are a High Frequency occurrence - High Frequency is in the RF Range (RF = Radio Frequency - Transmittable Frequencies)(Not Audio Frequencies... AF). AND I still have a challenge out that NO ONE has met. MAKE ME A GROUND LOOP DC CIRCUIT! 4 - SHIELDING - Or in this case: What End of a Shield To Ground? RF circuits you shield at BOTH ENDS. And lets consider RF as only the frequencies we see in out planes... VHF. I know, I know, we all have GPS and they are at microwave frequencies. BUT! You are not building the units or the antennas, just installing them. 5 - SHIELDING - When you consider things such as Alternator Noise... The noise is in the audio frequency range and the source is the alternator so you ground at the source/alternator. NOW! What happens went the alternator wires reach the ACU/VR (Alternator Control Unit/Voltage Regulator) and then go out to other locations (ALT Switch)? Well there the rule stating says ground the source, but what is the source? The ACU/VR is the source, But it is already Grounded, usually to the firewall. SOooooo what do you do with the SHIELD? You play Electrical Engineer... Not on TV but on your plane. Start with grounding at the ACU/VR. But, think ahead and plan ahead. Make a Ground point at the ALT Switch and put a ring lug on the shield. If you find ALT Noise try grounding at the ground point you made with the shield near (as close as possible) the ALT Switch. It is a GOOD idea to make Ring Lug Grounds on both ends of the shield just in case the noise did not go to the same school as the electrons. YET! In all honesty I have never found that to be the case. 6 - Don't forget to install a Capacitor on the OUTPUT of the Alternator B+. All the shielding in the world won't do dittily if the noise is traveling out and down your B+.

At cruise RPM, the oil pressure is fine, maybe 45 PSI. At idle it is fine, but I'm not sure what PSI he told me. The problem is at wide open throttle, during takeoff the oil pressure will drop to about 30 PSI, and at WOT in cruise flight the oil pressure drops to about 30 PSI. What could be the problem? He added a washer to the pressure relief valve today after changing the oil but experienced the same problem in a ground run. Any input would be appreciated.

We have the same issues on a FD CT. Fix the grounds to be more solid. Oil pressure senders are the first to show this because they are more sensitive than other instruments to poor grounds. Been there and done that on at least 15+ planes. -------- Roger Lee Tucson, Az.

At cruise RPM, the oil pressure is fine, in the green. At idle it is fine, but I'm not sure what PSI he told me. The problem is at wide open throttle, during takeoff the oil pressure will drop a bit but stays in the green, and at WOT in cruise flight the oil pressure drops but stays in the green". Unless your engine is an older one where the oil pump plate has not been modified for cavitation, there is no problem. Oh, and the washer does nothing. The relief valve opens at a high pressure which you do not reach. Adding a washer will only raise the pressure at which the relief valve opens, it does nothing for normal range operation.
