ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY–EMC
The EMC Directive limits electromagnetic emissions of equipment in order to ensure that, when used as intended, such equipment does not disturb radio and telecommunication as well as other equipment. The Directive also governs the immunity of such equipment to interference and seeks to ensure that this equipment is not disturbed by radio emissions when used as intended. In order to market your electrical device within the member states of the European Union, your product must comply with harmonized standards.
BASIC TYPES OF TESTS:
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Tests
- Measurement of conducted interference
- Measurement of radiated interference
- Measurement and analysis of harmonic currents, voltages and flicker interference injected into the public supply system
Electromagnetic Susceptibility/ Immunity (EMS) Tests
- Electrostatic discharge immunity test (ESD)
- Radio frequency electromagnetic field test
- Power frequency magnetic field test
- Electrical fast transient/burst test
- Injected currents
- Surges
- Voltage dips/ interruptions and voltage variations immunity tests
- Tests of electrical equipment in terms of requirements of electromagnetic compatibility are carried out according to the Directive 2004/108 /EC.
