It would help to know the chamber’s purpose: qualification to which standards will occur in the chamber.
Regardless of that, I like a control chamber on the opposite side of the bulkhead feedthrough panel(s). A feature unique (AFAIK) to my chambers (due to my poor carpentry skills) is that the entry way to the test chamber is through the control chamber. That allows two doors to provide the necessary shielding effectiveness, instead of requiring all the SE from a single door. You may be able to get by with lesser doors that way. -- Ken Javor Ph: (256) 650-5261 From: Patrick <[email protected]> Reply-To: ***** IEEE emc-pstc List ***** <[email protected]> Date: Friday, August 8, 2025 at 10:33 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [PSES] Design a chamber from scratch- what are your top 5 features? Good morning. I have the opportunity to design an EMI chamber from scratch. I'm generating a list of all my loved features, and hated features. Here are a couple that come to mind. Loved: abundance of overhead lighting Hated: lighting only with flood lights in upper corners Loved: replaceable bulkhead passthrough panel Hated: all of the bulkhead panels at ankle height If you were building, what is your love/hate feature list? (spoiler alert- I will copy your ideas into my design!) Many thanks ! Patrick. This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
