David, thanks for the great information! This is the theory we're subscribing to. The arc mechanism takes place at the negative electrode. I just tested a mercury wetted coaxial relay, from 0 to 500 volts and it exhibits a 10 volt drop across the arc. It is not polarity sensitive, which

It depends on which ETS/EN standard is applicable for the Radio some of them have the antenna parameters specified as part of the spectrum parameters. Best Regards Lothar Schmidt Technical Manager EMC/Radio/SAR BQB CETECOM Inc. 411 Dixon Landing Road Milpitas, CA 95035 phone ?+1 (408) 586

Amund, Another antenna may alter the Radio and EMC behaviour of your radio transmitter. So you must check if the complete system with the other antenna is still compliant with the applicable harmonised EMC and radio standards. Kris From: Amund Westin [mailto:am...@westin-emission.no] Sent:

RE: HV relay

2003-05-14 Thread Pommerenke, David
Dear Dave, You are working on a difficult issue. Every HV relay will breakdown before the contacts touch. The reason is as follows: When the contacts come closer the surface field strength Increases. The field strength will increase so much, such that the field emission current reaches

Hi, We have speaker products that can be connected to PC or walkman/Hi-Fi/DVD/CD/VCD player. The speaker is just an amplifier which take analog input via stereo jack.. It may be a multichannel speaker system. For this speaker products, what is the EN standard to comply? EN55022/24 or

I'm designing some ESD test equipment for in-house use and need some suggestions on relays. I am experimenting with a 5 kV COTO vacuum relay and notice that I get some runt pulses. It appears that the contacts arc before they touch and then the arc extinguishes after 50 ns and then reignites.

Could anyone provide lessons learned/commentary on the use of any recent model McIntosh amplifiers for either MIL-STD-461 CS101 or DO-160 Section 18 testing? I currently am using a legacy Solar 6552-1A but am looking for an amplifier with higher power output capabilities. Thanks in advance,

David, Thank you for the additional clarification. It took something like this to get the production of light aircraft back into gear in the US several years ago. A 30 year old plane would be flown into a mountain due to pilot error and the heirs of the pilot would sue the manufacturer because
