[PSES] SV: [PSES] Stripline - discontinuity in adjacent ground planes

2020-03-19 Thread Amund Westin
GND1-Signal = 200um Signal-GND2 = 220um So there are slightly differences of the distances. I have found two possible alternatives to change layout so the high speed lines in Signal layer will have 100% GND return coupling all the way. They should must have priority when interfering other

[PSES] SV: [PSES] Stripline - discontinuity in adjacent ground planes

2020-03-19 Thread Amund Westin
Note that the worst situation may occur when both planes are equal, In this PCB, they are more or less equal. It's an 8-layer stack (bottom/ Layer8=GND, Layer7=Signals, Layer6=GND, and .). But the signal traces in Layer7 have now continuous return path in both L8 and L6. Regards Amund

Hi all, in these cases (floating metal parts of EUT) we connect the floating part to Earth Ground with a 2x 470kohm cable similar (or same) as that used for VCP/HCP. See IEC/EN 61000-4-2 sec. 7.2.4 Ungrounded Equipment: "A cable with 470 kohm bleeder resistors, similar to the one used with the

If any of you have a Case of Corrona, I hope it is the type that comes in bottles or cans. First, there is a guy in this group who I chatted with in the past who is like an expert in the E-Stop function. He has a Blog or Website dedicated to this topic which I cannot currently find. Can anyone

Brian, Depending on your requirement you may need a risk assessment to something like ISO 12100 or ISO 13849-1. From that would be determined the minimum performance level of the safety control system. A single contactor could be used as the VFD manufacturer suggests. For higher performance
