Muriel, Coupling/Decoupling networks (of which LISN's are a subgroup) can affect DUT performance. I myself have not experienced this with a conducted emissions LISN, but I have experienced it with an EFT generator. We made a product that had an internal thermal printer. We EFT test in house.

Muriel, this is a very question, and I'll let better qualified people answer your specific concerns. Now, if I may add my 2 cents worth of experience in a 'similar' situation that involved conducted emission on SIGNAL leads: Under certain conditions, when the required CDN does interfere with

William, This is a truly valuable forum!!! Thanks for your prompt email response. Perhaps the updated version is EC No. 2037/2000. I was sent a copy of Regulation (EC) No 2037/2000 of the European Parliament and the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer and

Muriel, 1) Your equipment must be designed to operate from the LISN. It must not resonate, generate extra ripple, etc. The concept is that EUT sees a low enough source impedance when connected to any real power distribution system that it operates in a STABLE mode. That means your input

Doubt with conducted emissions measurement

Hello Group! First of all, I wish a merry christmas and a happy new year for the list members. Second, I'd like to solve a doubt. It concerns the methodology of conducted emissions tests. Let's suppose a power electronic equipment (static converter) that has a boost converter in the entrance

OATS Turntable Canopy

I want to erect a simple, low cost removable canopy over our turntable at our OATS to protect the EUT from light rain and our Florida sun. Is anyone aware of an off-the-shelf option? Has anyone constructed a simple canopy and would like to share their design and/or experience (good and bad)?

Hi Sorry to disagree but I have been in contact with the Commission and various governments around Europe including Germany, Sweden, UK. Eire, France etc. Although there is a common position in that HCFC are to phased out, certain governments have gone that extra mile and banned HCFC through

Dear Tin There is indeed a ban on new equipment entering the EU from 01.01.2001. The original EU Regulation, which implements the requirements of the Montreal Protocol, was called EC 3093/94. this has since been replaced with an updated version but I do not have the reference to hand. Although

Re: Harmonic limits

Kevin The limits for class A are absolute, independent of the input power to the equipment. The class D limits are proportional to your input power, (1st column) up to the maximum permissible harmonic current given in the second column of the class D table (which is the same as class A) e.g. A
