Noise caused by ground loops
The best way to eliminate ground loops is to isolate the multimeter from earth by
not grounding the input terminals. If the multimeter must be earth-referenced,
connect it and the device-under-test to the same common ground point. Also
connect the multimeter and the device-under-test to the same electrical outlet
whenever possible.
