Differing voltages with the same ground?

A voltage is a "difference between two points". One of those points can be called "Ground" even if it''s in a flying plane. Like the chassis of a car is hooked to the (usually) negative terminal of the battery: the ground connection is common to ALL electronic circuits.

So when there is power supply connected to the power input that is higher than 6.6V+0.6V (where 0.6V is the diode D1 voltage drop), then the USB supply line is cutoff (because the mosfet turns off) and the power is provided from the power plug. Connecting or disconnecting the USB supply in this case will not make a difference, so you can have both power supplies

How do I ground a 12v battery and an AC inverter?

Do not connect the chassis ground terminal to anything except the vehicle chassis if mounted permanently. Never connect direct to the battery. Only the DC power input terminals should be connected to the battery. Plug the small items into the inverter direct without worry. Only shock hazard will be if the power cord to the appliance is damaged

How to isolate grounds when powering MCU and peripherals with the same

The simplest way is to wire each power supply to its respective load separately, then join the grounds, and only the grounds, at a single point. This is called a star connection, because if there are several grounds all joined together it looks like a star. I suggest you "prototype" the thing to see what happens.

An Introduction to Ground: Earth Ground, Common Ground, Analog Ground

Your cable TV, telephone and power should all share the same reference. Fiber can isolate the grounds. One other thing that needs to be touched base on is that when electrical outlets are paralleled, the ground potentials when used as a reference would be the same.

6 FAQs about [Battery and input power share the same ground]

Can two power supplies share a common ground?

Combining the 2 gives an "equal/common" ground reference for both circuits too so one isn't floating with respect to the other.. Voltage is a field, it does not flow, it propagates. If the two power supplies share a common ground, or can be made to, then it is no problem.

Do I need a common ground between battery packs?

Anyway, yes, you need a common ground between the battery packs, though preferably the Arduino and the power side of the motor driver have independent wires to the battery packs, and only meet there. @ChrisStratton It's actually a motor controller my bad, it's this one: Sparkfun TB6612FNG.

How does a battery work?

In a battery the current does not flow back exactly to where it came from but to the separate other pole. The poles are not separate, they are joined by the electrolyte. There is no electrolyte between the positive of one battery and the negative of a completely different battery.

What is the difference between a voltage and a ground?

A voltage is a "difference between two points". One of those points can be called "Ground" even if it's in a flying plane. Like the chassis of a car is hooked to the (usually) negative terminal of the battery: the ground connection is common to ALL electronic circuits.

Does a power supply need a common ground?

But if the power supply uses a power socket ground, the need for common ground is completely mysterious to me. For circuit 1, why does it matter if some current is lost along the way? For circuit 2, why does it matter if its ground has to sink a little more than the + side of the power supply provides? Hi

How do you connect a power supply to a ground?

What you need to do it join the grounds but in such a way as to keep the ground current flowing from one power supply to its load separate from the current flowing from another power supply to its load. The simplest way is to wire each power supply to its respective load separately, then join the grounds, and only the grounds, at a single point.
