John I would recommend that you start with IEC60721 Series and use that to define your environment and from that derive your test regime. That standard allows you to define the severity of each aspect of the environment rather than use a single generic definition that may not be completely

Thevenin equivalent circuit for SMPS emission sources

2008-12-18 Thread rnute
Thank you to all who responded to my question. But, no one provided me with a Thevenin equivalent circuit for the SMPS when looking up the ground wire. What is the circuit, and where is the generator? When looking up the ground wire, is the source a current source or a voltage source? Please
