Hi Group,
First I would like to thank everyone who responded to my earlier conducted
emission problem and the valuable suggestions. I have another issue that has
been brought to my attention by one of our customer reps. I have a customer
that is concerned about a couple of their equipment operators that have
heart pacemakers and the effects on their pacemaker by magnetic fields. Our
product has some very strong dc magnets (not a magnetic field induced by
current flow just bar magnets)and they are concerned about the health of
these operators. I would appreciate any information I could pass on to this
concerned customer. Is there a standard for pacemaker magnetic immunity such
as dc magnetic strength, measured magnetic field in A/m or micro Tesla
measured at a defined distance and frequency? I would like to know if our
product has the potential to cause harm to people with a pacemaker. Any
suggestions for testing this would be greatly appreciated. All the best for
Christmas and the New Year.
