Item Subject: Survey: Experiences with EMI Consultants
Hello Max,
In regards to using consultants for EMC, you can take an R&D Engineer
to water but you can't make them drink. I say this because my
experience has been that you can send Engineers to EMC Seminars where
they will get all the basics on EMC design. When a project comes
along, they forget everything that was taught in the seminar.
I have had to bring in a consultant at the request of R&D because they
wanted a third party opinion to their design while it was on paper.
Everything the consultant told them was taught in the EMC seminars
they attended. I also informed the R&D Engineers, before the
consultant came in, what they needed to address in their design for
EMC compliance and how to plan the design. Being that I was from the
Quality Department they wanted another opinion. Well that other
opinion was exactly what I told them.
There are a lot of good consultants out there. My personal preference
is Henry Ott, because Henry knows his stuff and is very willing to work
with you. Here is his address and phone numbers.

I am wondering if anyone has had experience with hiring EMI/EMC
consultants to solve their problems and what sort of results they have
obtained.
I would be very interested in any details that anyone might be able to
provide. For example, did you use a consultant after the system was
prototyped or early on, during the design process. Was the consultant
most useful at providing board-level, design suggestions or was he most
helpful at providing after-the-fact type fixes that pertain to cabinet
design and I/O cable filtering and grounding techniques, etc. Also, did
the consultant, deal directly with design engineers or interface with
just one person within your company, etc.?
Does anyone have the names of any good consultants?
