They share the same circuit ground---the rectifier ground,except = for flyback secondary. There was one interesting thing, and I cannot explain. When I attach a = scope probe ground to the circuit ground, the output load will drop. This= happens when I place the probe ground to many obvious circuit ground poi= nts. I am using constant voltage load, so what I mean load drop is that the = load current drops, say from 2.5A to 2.4A when the scope probe ground is = attached, but will recover to 2.5A when removed. Other performace does no= t change much. Any opinion on what could have happened? Is it my layout problem? I won= der if this will affect some probing results.
