[PSES] harmonics flicker

2011-12-21 Thread Dave Coleman
I am trying to find the driving requirement for ITE to be tested to 
61000-3-2 and 61000-3-3 (harmonics  flicker).

For test  measurement equipment 61326 clearly states the requirement, but 
I cannot find the equivalent statement in 55022/4 nor can I find it in the 
EMC directive.

Anybody help?
Best Regards,
Dave Coleman

You are not required to be compliant with standards – you are required to be 
compliant with the protection requirements of the EMC Directive.



Ways of demonstrating compliance are discussed in “The Guide for the EMC 
Directive 2004/108/EC (8th February 2010)”, available from 
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/electrical/documents/emc/guidance/index_en.htm



Section 3.2 covers the use of Harmonised Standards to obtain a presumption of 
conformity, including:


Generally the three main aspects to be covered are:
– high frequency emission (related to radio protection);
– low frequency emission on the mains supply (harmonics, voltage fluctuations);

– Immunity to permanent and transient EMC phenomena.



In reality most companies choose to test products to Harmonised Standards, 
using test equipment made by companies who sit on standards committees 
alongside test labs who perform the testing – but it’s not compulsory ☺



Regards

Charlie

Charlie,

Yours and John Woodgate's responses tell me what I already know - but 
don't answer the fundamental question, of why there is not a legally 
enforceable document (and the EMC Directive Guide is not),  that tells the 
uninitiated what standards their equipment needs to comply with, if they 
are using the harmonised stds route? Can they reasonably be expected to 
read the scope of every harmonised std?

Why did the writers of 61326 feel it necessary to include reference to 
610003-3-2  3-3, but the writers of 55022 did not?

The writers of IEC/EN 61326 should not have included the reference, 
unless as a note or in an informative annex. it is not correct to claim 
to use one standard to enforce another, because that is not in the Scope 
of any standard. The writers of CISPR 22/EN 55022 wrote correctly (in 
this instance).

That's not fair; all standards bodies have a duty to ensure a balance of 
representation on committees. There IS a problem of complacency, mostly 
affecting equipment manufacturers, who don't send experts to the 
committees and then complain that they don't like the resulting 
standards. But the situation now is much better than it used to be - at 
least the more wide-awake manufacturers realise they can't afford to be 
out of the loop.

Dave,

Your main point is true, but consider this :

1) There are many thousands of products on the world market that are sold 
within the EU. Each can be slightly different or vastly different from each 
other.
2) Even sight differences in application and use could force you to look at 
other standards.
3) Even if the EU produced legally enforced guidelines for all the combinations 
above, finding the guideline in the first place would still be a huge job. And 
what do you do if nothing fits 
2) Also using harmonised standards is just one route

Yours and John Woodgate's responses tell me what I already know - but 
don't answer the fundamental question, of why there is not a legally 
enforceable document (and the EMC Directive Guide is not),  that tells the 
uninitiated what standards their equipment needs to comply with, if they 
are using the harmonised stds route? Can they reasonably be expected to 
read the scope of every harmonised std?

Why did the writers of 61326 feel it necessary to include reference to 
610003-3-2  3-3, but the writers of 55022 did not?

You are not required to be compliant with standards – you are required to 
be compliant with the protection requirements of the EMC Directive.
 
Ways of demonstrating compliance are discussed in “The Guide for the EMC 
Directive 2004/108/EC (8th February 2010)”, available from 
http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/electrical/documents/emc/guidance/index_en.htm
 

 
Section 3.2 covers the use of Harmonised Standards to obtain a presumption 
of conformity, including:
 
Generally the three main aspects to be covered are:
– high frequency emission (related to radio protection);
– low frequency emission on the mains supply (harmonics, voltage 
fluctuations);
– Immunity to permanent and transient EMC phenomena.
 
In reality most companies choose to test products to Harmonised Standards, 
using test equipment made by companies who sit on standards committees 
alongside test labs who perform the testing – but it’s not compulsory J

These standards are 'product family standards', and do not need to be 
called up by product standards. The 'product family' is 'anything 
connected to the public low-voltage electricity supply'.
 
The EMC Directive does not call up any standards. Complying with 
standards is one way of complying with the Directive.

Re: [PSES] Lab Needed for 17025 Accredited Calibration for Davis Weather Station

2011-12-21 Thread Elliott Mac-FME001
Hi Derek!

Thanks for the input / feedback - will look into the alternate way of 
demonstrating compliance to the traceability requirements. 

Here is the excerpt from TIA 603 D

1.4.5 Standard Atmospheric Conditions
The standard atmospheric condition is a temperature of 25 °C at an atmospheric
pressure of 1013 hPa (1013 mbar). Measurements, however, may be carried out at
any combination of temperature, pressure, and relative humidity within the
following limits:

Temperature: 20 °C to 35 °C
Relative Humidity: 45% to 75%
Atmospheric Pressure: 860 hPa to 1060 hPa (860 mbar to 1060 mbar)

We are accredited to this standard by A2LA. 

Think the main problem with the weather station seems to be the rain gage and a 
few of the other measurement capabilities of the device. 

Think can live with limited cal to accredited parameters and find a good lab 
out there. 

BTW - I get the lazy way but my experience has been that defining what it is 
that you need and developing procurement requirements that are followed by the 
accredited calibration labs can be somewhat of a challenge! Can't just say you 
want accredited cal. I have learned a lot about metrology in the process!

Good to hear from you and I hope that you and yours have a great Holiday Season!

Best regards,
 
Mac Elliott

Hi Mac,

NVLAP requires that you follow Annex B of NIST HB-150. An accredited 
calibration is not the only way, just the lazy way.

Are you sure you need to record these parameters? If your standard has 
no limits, then quite possibly you could argue out of recording them. 
I'm not a fan of doing things just cos'

Cheers,

Derek.

 you have enough control you shouldn't be pushing the edges, so it become less 
 critical.  Just don't try ESD out in the open on a hot, humid day in the 
 south.  Nor try it in the foothills above Denver at any time.  The 
 atmospheric pressure will be too low.  Remember, the barometer must be

 Transcat will cal stuff that does these parameters and does 17025. RH, temp,

 people?

 Possible to remove transducers/sensors and send to cal lab to do tables?
 Most Davis systems are not NWS-grade, and the rated accuracies could allow a
 company verification process where altitude and temp correction is applied
 to local METAR data, temp sensor is verified with your recently calibrated
 instrument used in Type Tests, and the RH sensor can be verified using the
 chemical kits or calc using dry/wet bulb readings.

 Do not have a weather station at place of employment, but have several
 similar sensors connected to data logger to monitor lab conditions during
 all tests, and have never had any problem submitting this data to auditors.

Re: [PSES] harmonics flicker

2011-12-21 Thread ce-test, qualified testing bv - Gert Gremmen
There are not that much standards applicable to each and every product,
unless you never read the list. If you do not know which standard
is applicable, one also can opt for the generic standards set.

The phenomena based approach is imho the way if you cannot afford
the use of a consultant.

So in order of best results:

1. Ask a consultant
2. search for an applicable standard for harmonics and flicker (4 exist 16 and 
16 amp) 
3. search the scope of harmonized standards for the best fit for emissions
4. search the scope of harmonized standards for best fit for immunity
5. Be aware that sometime 34 are 2 different standards, and sometimes 34 are 
in one standard
6. Verify you actually selected the applicable version (LOOK at the DATE in the 
list , newest is not always best).
7. Verify you found and read all valid amendments ad corrigenda
8. Search Google for a DoC for a similar product and copy; you will probably 
end up with an obsolete list
9. Now you are really confused:  go back to 1.

Yours truly

Dave,

Your main point is true, but consider this :

1) There are many thousands of products on the world market that are sold 
within the EU. Each can be slightly different or vastly different from each 
other.
2) Even sight differences in application and use could force you to look at 
other standards.
3) Even if the EU produced legally enforced guidelines for all the combinations 
above, finding the guideline in the first place would still be a huge job. And 
what do you do if nothing fits 
2) Also using harmonised standards is just one route

Isn't the requirement in the scope?

EN 61000-3-2 applies to all electrical and electronic equipment that has an 
input current of up to 16A per phase, suitable for connection to the 
low-voltage AC public mains distribution network.

It is my understanding that it is the responsibility of the manufacturer to 
test to all applicable
standards pertaining to the product (or have back up as to why the test does 
not apply).

Re: [PSES] Semi-Anechoic Chamber Question - Correction Factor

2011-12-21 Thread Bill Owsley
Go back, way back, to the paper by pate, german, smith, on the NSA.
Go through all the details and calculations and surmise that there is the 
direct path, and the reflected path.
The reflected path adds, or not, to the direct path, depending on wavelength 
(phase at receive antenna) and distance between antennas.
A scan up to 4 meters will generally cover the apparent phase shift at the 
lower frequencies such that a maximum is recorded.
This scan will certainly cover the apparent phase shift of higher freq's.
The reflected wave verses the direct wave, will have a longer distance and thus 
a little more loss. In the worst case, it can be neglected.
It will also suffer some loss at the reflecting surface, generally assumed to 
be a perfect boundary since it is unknown but defined as metal.
Thus, the received voltage received via a direct path added with a reflected 
path, assuming no distance or reflection loss, would be 6 dB higher than the 
direct path alone.  This direct path alone is the assumed field measured in a 
FAC, neglecting any chamber anomalies.
Or is it 3 dB higher?? as in power?

Re: [PSES] Semi-Anechoic Chamber Question - Correction Factor

2011-12-21 Thread Bill Owsley
At a basic level, do an NSA for the chamber and compare to the OATS NSA to 
develop a correction factor for the two.

Professor Leferink published a
nice paper that proposed a different correction
factor for a SAC to a FAC. I tried to track it down but had no luck.

Subject: RE: Semi-Anechoic Chamber Question
 
Thank you everyone for the
helpful feedback.  The consensus is clearly: Save my back and leave the
absorber and ferrite tiles in place.  Compare radiated emissions
measurements in the chamber to those on the OATS (several suggested a comb
generator for this purpose).  Assign an adjustment factor to the chamber
measurements to correlate as closely as possible to the OATS measurements (6dB
has been suggested as a reasonable factor, although I need to confirm this
through my own measurements).
