EMC chamber breakout panel connectors - pref in UK

2010-11-25 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
Can anyone recommend suitable panel mount connectors for an EMC chamber
breakout panel to allow the following shielded signal cables to “pass
through” the chamber wall:

 

· RJ45 

· USB “A”

· VGA

Did you try:

  http://www.ridgewayprecision.co.uk/index.html

The list of standards they claim to cover is a bit pathetic, but they do 
make test fingers and if you send the drawings I expect they will tell 
you if they already make them or can make them for you.

However, I've never dealt with them: I made my own.

Re: [PSES] Shield bonding on STP Cat5 Ethernet cables

2010-11-25 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
A magnetic field will couple through the shield even if grounded at both
ends, albeit in attenuated form.  It's really just a matter of how much
attenuation can be achieved.  I've been working on an instrument with a
pulsed magnetic field powerful enough to cause robust electrostimulation
of any flesh in the near vicinity.  An interposed sheet of ordinary
kitchen grade aluminum foil reduces but does not eliminate the shock
sensation.  This is at 5 KHz.  Turning to the matter of audio cables, hum
levels even 60 to 80 dB below the program content will prove annoying,
and the standard braided shield or even braid over foil can reduce the
hum, but at power frequencies the answer is never as much as one would
wish for.  Absent resort to mu-metal shielding, the key to audio hum
rejection is, as always, balance rather than shielding per se.

The physics is straightforward enough.  In magnetically transparent
metals such as aluminum or copper, magnetic shielding is achieved by eddy
current effect rather than flux shunting.  Most shields are rather too
thin to be efficient at this for power frequencies.  For instance, the
skin depth for pure copper at 60 Hz is around 8.5mm.  It takes 4 skin
depths to reduce ambient magnetic fields by 70 dB, easy at RF but rather
impractical for hum reduction in an audio cable routed past a power
transformer, or control wiring routed near 'cabling carrying large
currents'.  

I completely agree that UTP is satisfactory for ethernet even in noisy
industrial environments.  It's not just that the system is well balanced,
but also that the signals are transformer coupled and galvanically
isolated from the equipment with insulation good past a kilovolt.  Adding
a shield is just a means to violate galvanic isolation.  At RF a properly
grounded shield can help suppress CM radiation, but if that is a problem
then the balance assumption has been blown and ferrites are probably a
better solution.  Why are  shielded CAT-5 cables available?  Because
people are willing to buy them, and to keep EMC consultants busy when it
doesn't help.

Standard test finger

2010-11-25 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org

Dear Group, 

Can any member please tell me where in the UK I can purchase a rigid and a
jointed IEC 61032 test finger, as shown in IEC 61010-1, Annex B? 

Many thanks in anticipation of you help.

答复: [PSES] 2.4GHz band radio control requirements (EU)

2010-11-25 Thread emc-p...@ieee.org
Hi Nick,

It depends on what's destination of your product.
For EU, it's required to do RF testing according to RTTE directive,
As it's FHSS modulation, the test standard would be EN 300 328, 301 489.
for US, you would do FCC ID, testing standard is FCC part 15c.
For Canada, it's required to do IC ID, standard is tad-210.
Almost, all regions in world required RF approval.

Tim

主题: [PSES] 2.4GHz band radio control requirements (EU)

I'm looking for some advice and insight to help me identify and apply
the relevant standards for radio remote controls for model cars
operating in the 2.4GHz band using FHSS. I may also need to identify
people who have the capability to perform compliance testing.

First off, can anyone point me to a resource which gives a brief
primer on the 'state of the art' as regards the choice and
application of standards to these devices?

Thanks!

Nick.

The only mandatory safety requirements for the product to be placed to the

for household appliances only. If the product is designed purely for the use
of industrial environment, the CCC requirement will not be applicable.
