Ground only the end closest to the VFD or contoller. Bada boom bada bing, you got shielded cable or wires.

Now shop radio works fine.

Cover with heat shrink or plastic braid.

Slide the braid over the wire.

This expansion causes loss of about half of the lenght.
A 1 foot long piece is about 6" long at 3/4" ID.

I rolled the end over to aid in installation.

The braid expands to 3/4" ID.

This helped me to over come noise issues with my VFD.
My shop radio would freakout when the VFD was started.

I started with 3/8" wide braided shield.

Lower shot of enclosure and leak test.

It sits in a pan on plywood and a metal cabinet.

It does to an extent. The high frequency noise is alot less, but low freqs will always get by without futher dampening.

I have the right side adjecent to an inside wall...lots of noise.

.085" wall and doors.
.110" roof

Doors are kinda floppy.

110 all around would be nice.

j/k This is Erin.
Shes a great shop cat. Doesn't mind the chips and coolant in the fur.

Just hope she won't use it as a litter box!

I still need to coolant proof a few things...move the lathe, X and Y axis motors 180 degrees about. feed thru's for wires and hoses. The list just gets longer and longer.

You could...first start with a shower stall...j/k LOL

Got tired of wearing coolant and chips around, so I built an enclosure.
