Good SI, PI and EMC require this most of all…

 

Good SI, PI and EMC require a proper, grown-up understanding of electricity... Instead of what circuit designers are taught! As electronic designers, we were taught the children’s version of electricity at school, college, university, etc. This is the version that pretends (just as the SPICE simulator does) that electricity flows as little packets of charge totally inside … [Read more...]

Don’t Rely on the Stability of the Mains Frequency

 

My old colleague and good friend Tim Williams sent me the story below for inclusion in EMI Stories/Banana Skins, and I found it so interesting in so many ways that I decided to publish it as a Blog. In so very many EMC standards and other meetings on EMC, we hear that the stability of the AC mains power frequency is either ‘not an EMC issue’ or is ‘never a real EMC … [Read more...]

Mains Harmonic Current Emissions are Always Bad – It is Risky to Rely on the Limits or Exclusions in the Standards

 

Many (perhaps all) of EMC standards that are listed under the EMC Directive, that set limits for mains harmonic emissions, have exclusions (‘let-outs’) for certain types of equipment, especially: (these examples are from IEC/EN 61000-3-2 Ed.5:2018) Lighting equipment with a rated power of less than but not equal to 5W Equipment with a rated power of 75W or less, e.g. … [Read more...]
