Thanks for the explanation! So is it enough just to put it through once or should I wrap at least once around the ferrite? Since previous replies have got me into considering of replacement of motor wires to something with a shield, I have a question - what would be minimum recommended wire lead "thickness" (I mean the area in mm^2) for 7i39 drive? -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master SQL Server Development, Administration, T-SQL, SSAS, SSIS, SSRS and more.
