Hi all,
 
I have two questions about conducting test benches as used for automotive, 
aerospace and military testing.  I wonder whether anyone has a definitive 
answer.
 
1.  Why is the bench used?
2.  Why does it have a low inductance connection to the test chamber?
 
Here's my guesses:
 
1.  To replicate the chassis of a car / aircraft / tank / ship and hence 
provide a return path for any common mode RF current on a cable harness.
2.  a)  To provide an electrical safety earth for the bench.  b) because we've 
always done it that way.
 
Thanks,
 
Luke Turnbull
