Question
Why does radiated external noise not disturb the KNX signal in symmetrical transmission?
Answer
D — Because the noise hits both wires with the same polarity, it does not change the voltage difference the device evaluates
Correct: Radiated noise affects both wires with the same polarity and so has no effect on the evaluated difference.
