Agency approvals on components in CE mar

1998-09-09 Thread JENKINS, JEFF
It is my understanding that the European Commission has stated that a manufacturer has the freedom to determine the acceptability of components used in CE marked products. (Or words to that effect.) I would conclude that this would remove the need for using European agency approved

I will paraphrase the situation as stated in the Low Voltage Directive, 73/23/EEC, as amended by 93/68/EEC (CE Marking Directive) ; CE marking attests to the conformity (of the electrical equipment) to the provisions of this Directive. The Member States shall take all appropriate measures to

Thin metallic sheet for efficient EMI shielding

1998-09-09 Thread Jacobo Campos Ninho (ANT)
Hello All, We are looking for a not common kind of a very thin metallic sheet with a special shape to be used inside the chassis of amplifiers, over the thin-walls which separate the different PCB sections. Thus, we try to achieve a perfect electric contact between the thin metallic sheet and

FCC Part 18 Conducted Emissions

I am testing an induction heater to FCC Part 18 conducted emissions. The frequency range required is 10 KHz to 30 MHz. The heater is essentially a tank circuit tuned at 25 KHz. There are very strong emissions at 25 KHz and the next 5 harmonics. Are there any good techniques (design or otherwise)

Hi Keith, Something happened to your email note to emc-pstc: I can't reply to you personally. Leubbers published some work on using FDTD for monopoles on wire boxes. I don't have the references at hand, but I can look them up and forward them to you, if you like. Regards, Kevin --

One thing to keep in mind is that if possible, it is certainly preferable to use agency approved components...this will greatly reduce troubles associated with making sure the component manufacturer does not make any design or manufacturing changes that may affect the validity of your test

You're correct that no governmental organization require approved components. If they are in safety critical areas they will be investigated along with the rest of the product to insure that they can meet the requirements in the safety standards. Transformers are, or used, to be a good example of

Kevin, Can you assume the signal being measured is vertically polarized, or that the desired signal needs to be vertical for the application? If so, I would suggest you build discone antennas and calibrate them for the two bands. The antennas should be relatively small, have an

Roger, We simply do the tests to the newer (EN61000 series) standards, and then write a deviation in the test report stating that we deviated from the standard to use the newer test procedures, in an effort to maintain continued compliance in the future. Just make sure you cover the

A little clarification by way of example, Traditionally if we build a power conversion product for North America, we provide a UL/CSA approved circuit breaker as a part of the design. However if we subsequently apply for certificates from an agency in Europe they will insist upon a European

If I want to certify my product to meet the EN50082-1(1992) requirements, should I call for the IEC801 tests or the IEC1000-4 series? Is there any difference between them apart from the IEC801-3 and the IEC1000-4-3? Thanks and Regards Roger Hsu
