RE: Power Plugs
I am a UK resident with a holiday bolt-hole in the south of France. When I take UK electrical items to share my enjoyment of good food, wine and sunshine, I prefer to cut off the moulded UK plug and then fit a rewireable French plug. It's much safer than using a bunch of travel adaptors. I still have a couple of 4-block extension leads with UK sockets and a French plug for those plug-top power supplies which defy modification. I also have a reciprocal set-up for powering French sourced equipment in the UK. In the absence of rewireable plugs, I would be forced to use cut-off moulded plugs with a few inches/centimetres of lead and make the connection using a chock-block and insulating tape. I much prefer the strain relief clamp and logical connection system which has been available for many decades in rewireable plugs. If these plugs are about to become an endangered species, I will either have to stock up with a lifetime's supply soon, or get a job lot of kettle leads and IEC320 receptacles. I think that it's a good idea for all electrical equipment to be supplied with the plug already fitted, moulded or otherwise, but with the steady increase in international travel, a rewireable plug is still safer than a lash-up.

EFT Testing and Common Pitfalls, Meeting Notice, Santa Clara Valley EMC Society Chapter
Meeting notice for TUESDAY, October 9th at SGI in Mountain View. Social begins at 5:30pm and presentation at 7:00pm Please visit our website for full details including map. www.scvemc.org EFT Testing and Common Pitfalls, Meeting Notice, Santa Clara Valley EMC Society Chapter By: Doug Smith Details: - Doug Smith, will cover the background of EFT testing (IEC 61000- 4- 4) w along with common pitfalls. Doug will also share some tips on the testing process. Doug believes that all talks should have some entertainment value and this talk is not an exception. War stories and demonstrations will be used throughout the talk. One of these covers a common mistake that some testing labs make that can nearly double the stress on the EUT. If you have an EFT Burst Generator what do you do with it when it is not being used (probably most of the time unless you work for a test lab)? Doug will cover some test / debug techniques using an EFT generator that have nothing to do with EFT, such as solving ESD problems and measuring noise margins at the PWB and circuit trace level. Mr. Smith held an FCC First Class Radiotelephone license by age 16 and a General Class amateur radio license at age 12. He received a B.E.E.E. degree from Vanderbilt University in 1969 and an M.S.E.E. degree from the California Institute of Technology in 1970. In 1970, he joined AT&T Bell Laboratories as a Member of Technical Staff. He retired in 1996 as a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff. >From February 1996 to April 2000 he was Manager of EMC Development and Test at Auspex Systems in Santa Clara, CA. Mr. Smith currently is an independent consultant specializing in high frequency measurements, circuit/system design and verification, switching power supply noise and specifications, EMC, and immunity to transient noise. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and a member of the IEEE EMC Society Board of Directors. His technical interests include high frequency effects in electronic circuits, including topics such as Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), Electrostatic Discharge (ESD), Electrical Fast Transients (EFT), and other forms of pulsed electromagnetic interference. He also has been involved with FCC Part 68 testing and design, telephone system analog and digital design, IC design, and computer simulation of circuits. He has been granted over 15 patents, several on measurement apparatus. Mr. Smith has lectured at Vanderbilt University, AT&T Bell Labs, and at many public and private seminars on high frequency measurements, circuit design, ESD, and EMC. He is author of the book High Frequency Measurements and Noise in Electronic Circuits and is currently working on his second book. = Best Regards Hans Mellberg Regulatory Compliance & EMC Design Services Consultant By the Pacific Coast next to Silicon Valley, Santa Cruz, CA, USA 408-507-9694 __ Do You Yahoo!?
