This is a natural reaction - and even an 'Enforcement Officer' in the UK has produced a book suggesting that you can do a safety review and apply the CE Marking for safety using only ONE template (which happens to be his book!!!). Consider the number of PRODUCT standards written - these reflect

In the late 1960's I was working on what became IBM's first copier. We made frequent use of NESA glass, a PPG product. This consisted of an ultra-thin gold layer deposited on glass sheets. We could perform photoconductor light-discharge experiments by coating the PC on the gold surface, and

Don's message brings up a key consideration for any type of test that is performed - repeatability. If you can't repeat the results, you need to re-evaluate your methodology. For instance, in the event you had a failure, it would be difficult to determine if your fix actually worked. John

I think we may be assuming this overload is caused by the EUT. But this is just as likely to be caused by something else. Medium Wave and Long Wave broadcasting produces powerful fields at some distance from an antenna. This has a fix. If you place a narrowly resonant loop antenna, with feed

Assuming that moving the antenna away from the source is not a palatable solution, here is a more complex answer. The loop is electrostatically shielded, which means there is a small air gap somewhere around the loop shield, usually at the top or at the base. If you do a poor job of jumpering
