KA>From: [email protected] ??? KA>I am a safety person who needs to answer a question KA>from one of our sales people on the question of KA>"EMC" verses "RFI". KA>Is there anyone out there who can explanation the KA>differences between "EMC" and "RFI" and how they KA>relate to each other. EMC means Electromagnetic Compliance RFI means Radio Frequency Interference. EMC refers to *ALL* the generic requirements of complying with everything. RFI (radiated emissions) is a subset of that, referring to the limits of radiated emissions. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is the conducted noise that goes back up the power mains. The new requirement (specifically asked for by the EU) for total EMC is "susceptibility" where your product is inundated with both conducted noise and radiated noise. KA>Sun Microsystems, Inc. Kathy, You have some very capable people there at Sun that deal in this. I've seen the results of their work - all those fingers on their PCBs and aluminum plates that bolt together. They should be able to help you also. - Robert - [email protected] --- ~ OLX 2.1 TD ~ Of course Windows can multi-tas^}%#)*!@@@@}}^} NO CARRIER
