Hello SGour and fellow emc-pstc colleagues: I understand that the FCC has finally adopted the long awaited harmonized FCC/CS-03 requirements. They come into effect 90 days after the publication of the new requirements. I just don't know when the 90 days begins. The new surge requirements tak

The common bicon balun (the traditional long-neck variety) may explain the differences encountered between V & H. If my feeble memory is correct, the balun is only marginally "balanced". Consequently, it could be sensitive to cable length and routing. (An easy test for imbalance would be to sl

Message received. I believe you are referring to ANSI C63.4. This is a result of much controversy in the EMC community - what to do with cables? The FCC took a lot of heat for maximizing cables in ways that the industry did not agree with. So, after much discussion, industry & the FCC agreed on a

Chris, The rule that supersedes the others is: Don't interfere. However... there's a general perception that Class A is cheaper to build than Class B and not to ask for stricter standards if aiming at a better deal. This can result in specifying Class A limits if there is any justification at all
