[PSES] Procedure to move heavy 19" rack test equipment into EMI Chambers

Hi For those running EMI Labs was wondering what procedures you use to move Test Racks in and out of EMI Chambers, We use custom made ramps, which we put over the door threshold, aligning the front wheels on the ramp, then pushing the unit up and over into the chamber. Items which seem important:

Re: [PSES] EMC Measurement Software

In a past life I used EMCWare from AR Amps, it was very new back then but it's free and has a bunch of drivers bundled with it. Did I mention it's Free EMC Software? Rich > On Aug 1, 2017, at 2:40 PM, Paasche, Dieter > wrote: > > Hi > > I am using TILE for radiated emissions. I use it fo

[PSES] RF CS High Current Test Level

Hi Folks Does anyone have experience generating 1.7A CW (10KHz - 400MHz) using Bulk Current Injection? Wondering how people have achieved it, is there a BCI on the market able to sustain this level "off the shelf" or a vendor who custom builds them? A possible alternative was to use multiple BCI

[PSES] Mil-Std-461G

What's happening with Mil-Std-461G I thought it was going to be published last Spring but haven't heard anything since. Are there more changes coming? Rich - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc

Re: [PSES] PoE Injectors

I have also seen emission failures with IP devices using POE Injectors, if I remember correctly the emission margin dropped as you went up 10MHz, 100MHz to 1GHz. I would think that you would need to try a few different types to find a good one and of course unless you're working closely with the ma

Re: [PSES] Set-up Table Evaluation per Clause 5.5 of CISPR 16-1-4: 2010

When we ran these tests I used a separate antenna mast to hold the antenna above the table. Even Styrofoam will affect the measurement. (1- 6GHz you'll need a Styrofoam table) I used the antenna factor spot frequencies and modified a proprietary Labview program for the OATS but if you have a track

[PSES] Radiated Susceptibility Door Interlock

Hi As a safety precaution we have a Safety Interlock installed on the doors of our EMI Chambers but have now been taken to task that they don't meet safety requirements. I am chasing the Test Equipment manufacturers who I believe may have built to EN61010 (the standard does discuss safety interlo

CE and driving LEDs from mains

I had a quick question about possible CE (and other problems) with an odd circuit for driving 1W and 5W white LEDs (350mA and 700mA) from 240VAC mains. What are you views on the following. Have 350mA LED(s) in series with 1000mF cap from +ve to -ve within full bridge rectifier. So far so good.

Re: Considering a rooftop OATS

Hi Doug We looked at doing a 10m OATS but found that at 10m you didn't have a clear 10db margin from the relevant limit line in the standards, so we're aiming for a 3m site now with a raised platform so that cable trunking, turntable wont be too much trouble (I hope!) Richard EMC Resource Network

Hi Can anyone recommend a book/source of info that gives good advice on ESD fixes? Thanks in advance Richard
