We are talking about two different kinds of radiation. X-rays are of the category called ionizing radiation. They do their damage by stripping electrons off of atoms. Non-ionizing radiation, such as radio waves, do their (known) damage by heating tissue beyond its ability to dissipate the

Hello once again, I have already received a number of replies to my query indicating that the metallic enclosure is required for low inductance coupling to the components or to prevent radiation between circuits within the product. This is not my question. Please remember that one of the

Listmembers: I have a question that perhaps some of you can help me with. I'm developing a regulatory compliance plan for a new telecom product that is scheduled to begin shipping in the first quarter of 2000. The exact date is not certain, but it is likely to be before the April 8, 2000

Hello Doug, I think the enclosure of EMI filters is necessary. The enclosure (normally metallic and, if the filter should work well, connected to ground) prevents, that for example by radiation, disturbing signals could get into your filtered equipment. The filter would be bypassed. Regards

Doug, We have a piece of I.T.E. equipment that we designed that has dual power supplies with an EMI filter on the AC input of both supplies. We designed our own filters for this particular unit. They are simply small through-hole PC Boards (about 1 x 4) with the components (inductors and

Actually, the concern is worldwide. It starts with IEC 60825-1 which covers emissions from lasers and LEDs. IEC 950 has a normative reference to IEC 825 (an earlier revision of IEC 60825-1). IEC950 says that the national members are encouraged to apply the latest revisions of the normative

Hello group, For years I have used off-the-shelf and custom EMI filters with a fully enclosed metal canister. Why is this enclosure required? Are there specific provisions in the standards? My idea is to build up the filter circuit on a printed circuit board and make it an integral part of
