Hi all, We are currently designing an appliance for the gaming industry and looking for a suitable PSU. It appears that a lot of PSU’s are assessed against EN 60950 especially those for the PC industry. We have a couple of such PSU’s in mind with ‘SELV’ outputs but under EN 60335 there is a

High intensity LED lamp reliability

Hi all, I am looking for reliability information on high intensity LED illumination 1. Some vendors are supplying devices which seem like they contain a bare die on ceramic substrate. Is there any encapsulation there or maybe it is not required? 2. Is there a good basis for estimating life? We

I don't know what the originating post was, I came into it when the question was about how to define/determine the far field of an antenna. Relative to the larger question, about how to control BPL leakage so as not interfere with licensed users of the HF/shortwave band, I offer the following

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the subject of the original post is the field strength versus distance for BPL leakage from 1 - 30 MHz. I set up a simplified NEC-2 model of a house with wiring and began to measure the field strength from 1 to 30 MHz at distances from 10 to 100 meters. This proved

It is indeed Fischer Custom Communications at: http://www.fischercc.com/ They do have these coupling clamps. The founder, Joe Fischer, was friends or colleagues with Mr. Balint Szentkuti, who wrote several papers back in the 1980s about replacing radiated OATS measurements with common mode

As I noted in the previous post, I don't know very much about BPL. I surmise that the home electrical mains serve as a transmission line for the BPL signal. However, whereas the home mains system distributes mains power (50/60 Hz) differentially, I assume that the BPL signal is sent over the
