practical emc and emi control for engineers and technicians
DESCRIPTION
This workshop focuses on the issues of interest to you if you are working in design, operation or maintenance of analog or digital systems involving sensors, data acquisition, process control, cables, signal processing, programmable logic controllers, power distribution, high speed logic etc. The circuit board layout section concentrates on design and layout of circuits and components on a printed circuit board. The overall focus is on useful design and systems issues; not about regulations and standards. The idea is that you will take this material back with you to your work and apply the key principles immediately to your design and troubleshooting challenges. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Electrical and electronic engineers and technicians Engineers and technicians involved in the design and manufacture of electrical and electronic equipment which produce electromagnetic disturbances and may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference Engineers and technicians involved with the maintenance and service of electrical and electronic equipment Instrumentation and control engineers and technicians Those that need to ensure that goods conform to the required standards Those involved in the marketing and sale of goods that need to comply with the required standards MORE INFORMATION: http://www.idc-online.com/content/practical-emc-and-emi-control-engineers-and-technicians-2TRANSCRIPT

Structural Engineering“ … the art of modelling materials we do not
understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyse, to withstand forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public at large has
no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance”.
(past Chairman of the Scottish branch of the Institute of Structural Engineers)

The Need for Standards Standards are needed to control/limit interference
from electronic devices Standards are also needed to make electronic
devices less susceptible to interference Various countries implemented their own
standards Any manufacturer wanting to market goods into
that country, has to comply with the standards

Levels of Compliance
Self Compatibility
SpecialRequirements
• Harsh Environment• Exceeds Standards• Environment Dominates
• Functional• Just making it work• No EMC design rules
• Self Imposed• Improved Integration / Functionality• Basic EMC design rules• Minimum Specification / Standards
Contractual Compliance
• Electrical & EM Environment (E3)• To Specification• EMC Engineering• Mandatory Testing
Minimum Engineering / In-house standard

Areas of EMC Engineering Application
PCB’s» Most subtle, but very cost effective
Circuits and Filters» Added circuitry to contain EMI» Adds cost but a necessity for good EMC design
Screening» Enclosures and cables» Brute force - least cost effective
Grounding» Applicable to all three areas above
