In the discharge of a capacitor the current was measured with a current viewing transformer (CVT). In addition to measuring the current flowing through the CVT primary, a 51 MHz noise signal was added to the primary current. When the CVT was covered with a gold shield, the noise was eliminated. Analysis of the measured results indicate that the gold layer reflected the electromagnetic that was generated by current flowing in the primary and that the capacitance between the shield and the CVT secondary had no measurable effect on the CVT output.
