1. An amalgam assembly comprising:

  • at least two circuits, and each circuit of the two circuits respectively having;

    at least a source of energy and an energy-utilizing load;

    a first conductor operable as a conductively coupled energy source path from a first source of energy of the circuit to the energy-utilizing load of the circuit;

    a second conductor operable as a conductively coupled energy return path from a first energy-utilizing load of the circuit to the source of energy of the circuit;

    a third conductor operable as a conductively coupled energy source path from a second source of energy of the circuit to the energy-utilizing load of the circuit;

    a second conductor operable as a conductively coupled energy return path from a second energy-utilizing load of the circuit to the source of energy of the circuit;

    a conductive area that is conductively isolated from any one conductor of the amalgam; and

    an amalgam including;

    a plurality of electrodes conductively coupled to one another;

    a first set of electrodes conductively isolated from one another;

    a second set of electrodes conductively isolated from one another;

    the first and the second set of electrodes and the plurality of electrodes are spaced apart from one another by at least a material;

    the first and the second set of electrodes and the plurality of electrodes are conductively isolated from one another;

    a first and a second electrode of the plurality of electrodes sandwich the first set of electrodes, and the second and a third electrode of the plurality of electrodes sandwich the second set of electrodes;

    each electrode of the first set of electrodes is disposed relative to a corresponding electrode of the second set of electrodes in an opposite orientation position, respectively; and

    wherein a first electrode of the first set of electrodes is conductively coupled to the first conductor, and a first electrode of the second set of electrodes is conductively coupled to the second conductor, and a second electrode of the first set of electrodes is conductively coupled to the third conductor, and a second electrode of the second set of electrodes is conductively coupled to the fourth conductor; and

    the plurality of shielding electrodes is conductively coupled to the conductive area.
