Hi
For a hobby project i am working on, i needed a meter that could do both DC volt and current measurements, i found a panel mounted meter that has what i need, i bought 4 of them (details of the meter in the link below), it works fine but has this problem where it is extremely sensitive to noise, it uses a shunt resistor to measure dc current. after installing it in a control panel which has other device inside one of them being a small 1,5KW VFD, i got this problem, as soon as i switch on the VFD the meter goes in a restart loop as if the power where being connected and disconnected (power source is isolated from the VFD) after multiple attempts trying fix this by changing all the meter circuit wires to shielded cables and grounding with no success, i uninstalled the meter and tested it using my bench power supply, it runs fine but... if i touch one of the 2 shunt resistor inputs on the meter with my finger it starts to do the same thing it goes ON and OFF... I tried the other 3 that i got, they act the same exact way, so recon it has to do with the way they where designed. my question is.... if this is noise related is there a way to solve this ?
