Bob: When you go for SI then please stay with the convention, i.e. kilowatt is abbreviated as kW and not KW. We are hopefully beyond the time when MAmp was supposed to mean milliampere. Regards, Bogdan. Robert Wilson wrote: Sorry, you're right. I had meant mW/cc, not W/cc. Until recently

Vic: The ambient relative humidity should have no impact on the performance of the gut but only on the generation of static charges. So, to improve the performance in the field, I would suggest that you increase the R.H. at the customer site(s) to about 50% which would eliminate the generation

When I am not mistaken, then VDE0871 required testing starting at 9 kHz. When EMI requirements hit our shores, two tests were run (by some smart manufacturers) one per VDE0871 with a European Line Filter and another with a cheaper FCC Filter. In one particular equipment, there was a peak at 120
