EMC Short Course in South Africa

Given MESA Solution’s close links with academia, it is only natural that we offer both fundamental and  advanced  training  in  EMC,  which  often  does  not  receive  enough  consideration  during  the design process. 

This will be our primary training event for 2018, supported by the IEEE 4th Global Electromagnetic Compatibility  Conference  (GEMCCON)  that  takes  place  immediately  afterwards,  from  7  to  9 November 2018, at nearby Stellenbosch University: https://sites.google.com/view/gemccon2018. 

MESA  Solutions  and  Keith  Armstrong  of  Cherry  Clough  Consultants  will  be  presenting  this short course on EMC Fundamentals for Laboratories and Industry. The strong foci of this course are the underlying EMC principles and the practical design of PCBs, equipment, systems and installations. This includes incorporating hardening measures to reduce the effect of interference. 

We will investigate the effects of unwanted electric and magnetic field coupling as demonstrated through a number of key experiments. The influence of ground loops, poor equipment placement and connections, and the effects of common conductors will also be considered. Finally,  the  practical  design  of  circuits,  PCBs,  interconnections,  filters  and  shields  relevant  to  the interference frequencies being considered, will provide the attendees with the necessary tools to handle the majority of EMC issues quickly and cost-effectively.
