Okay, you explain to my wife just what the heck I'm doing to her oven now. She's still mad about the time I dried off my running shorts. (It evaporates the water very well, but it overheats the nylon stitching and scorches the heck out of the seams.) Gary -Original Message- From:

Richard, Before using PVC pipe, I would suggest testing it to see if it absorbs RF (Some do!). Place a small sample in a microwave oven, along with a mug of water to load the oven. If the PVC sample gets significantly warm after 1 minute try another type. Some PVC pipes have fillers added.

Hello EMC gods, Just an update, my US Midwestern based company got nailed with another traveling email worm this last week. Navidad is running rampant between Midwestern based corporations right now; it shows up as an attachment named navidad.exe. From observation I can tell you it is much

Re: Doubt with conducted emissions measurement

Hi Brent, Specifically NOT meaning to argue, but only in pursuit of the TRUTH, isn't the 10 uF feedthrough cap a perfectly well-defined source impedance above, say 15/20 kHz, where the old MIL-STD-461A/B/C CE03 limit started? Which is not to say that the current measurement is preferred, but

Hi Ken, After twenty years or so of EMC testing, I find myself more often using the word consistent rather than accurate. This is exactly the issue of n ohm LISNs versus voltage or current probes. Current probes and voltage probes are certainly as accurate as a LISN, but they leave in doubt

I disagree with a few statements made herein. Some differences are factual, but I am interested in general response on my last issue. 1) The military discarded the 5 uH LISN a long time ago. Commercial aerospace still uses it. In 1993 military adopted 50 uH LISN, essentially same as CISPR.

Hi Ed: First of all the floating secondary ground (if not connected directly to earth) should be treated as part of the secondary circuit which in many cases will require reinforced insulation to the primary circuit according to the working voltage measured. There are two
