I'm still having a bit of trouble with ground vs neutral. I got the impression that when people say grounded they are actually referring to neutral, but I am not sure.
Neutral is like 0V, but grounded is connecting to an infinite potential (or infinite ground potential, but I am particularily certain about what this means exactly, the closeset thing I can remember was an effectively infinite supply of electrons) like the earth or a large metal frame? I do have a big metal frame and an enclosure sitting on the metal frame with the PCB inside. But I wasn't planning on connecting the ground planes to those. Should I do that rather than connect the ground plane to the input or output reference? And connect the converter case to the metal frame instead of the input reference (like the manual suggests?). I'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around this shielding stuff.
Do you know of any articles about ground planes? The closest thing I learned about a ground plane so far in class is "virtual charge" method for solving problems in my electromagnetics class, but nothing practical so far about using it. I haven't had much luck getting specifics with google.
