Re: [PSES] Try these unusual EMI sources to check immunity

2013-02-25 Thread Anthony Thomson
EMC performance is not always just about meeting standards, it’s also (well, 
sometimes anyway) about producing a reliable, quality product. The former does 
not necessarily lead to the latter, and you often have to go beyond the 
requirements of the standards to achieve real-world immunity.
I’ve been using the chattering relay, the DC motor, and other ‘real world’ 
interfering sources since the early 80's. Other EMI sources I use are switching 
banks of incandescent lamps on and off (high inrush surge), walkie-talkie or CB 
radio keying (common high field strength RF sources), switching AC motors 
on/off (inductive kick on switch-off), and piezo spark igniter from a domestic 
cooking hob operated in the proximity of the EUT (fast EM impulse). It often 
takes protection measures above and beyond those required just to meet the 
standardsto make products immune to these real-world interferring sources.
Just as an aside, a DC motor will often produce different EMI profiles 
according to the direction (+/- vs. -/+) it is run. This caused me considerable 
consternation during radiated emissions testing when the EUT would easily pass 
with a motor running in one direction and fail with it running in the reverse 
direction. Investigation showed it was due to the brushes bouncing more in one 
direction than the other, see below. Considering a typical low cost DC motor, 
the ‘(O)’ represents the contacts on the rotating shaft, the ‘u’  ‘n’ the 
brushes and the ‘- - -‘ the springy contacts which keep the brushes pressed to 
the shaft and come out of the motor as terminals 'x'. As shown below, the 
brushes will ‘bounce’ more with the shaft rotating CCW than when rotating CW.

Hi All,

Try these unusual EMI sources to check the radiated or conducted immunity of 
your circuit or product!

Many such motors are classed as 'non-reversible' as brush wear is

John, since you ask...(but perhaps you only meant the re-scoping)...

The RTTE recast is also be stepping forward with the unique equipment number 
requirement in the DoC which seems to require 1 DoC per unit (rather than 1 DoC 
per model line). 

As I've mentioned in a previous post, this is also appearing in the LVD recast, 
though 1 parliamentarian (Zuzana Roithová) is trying to change the impact of 
this DoC requirements point 1 to be a unique identifier for the DoC document

Re: [PSES] Recast of RTTE directive

A unique DoC for each unit would be unfortunate.  Cumbersome without being 
useful.  The only circumstance I can think of where this would be reasonable 
would be if each unit itself is unique (i.e. custom).

[PSES] Ecma TR-106 available

2013-02-25 Thread Richard Nute

Posted on behalf of Tom Burke, UL:


More good news for those seeking to learn more about IEC 62368-1 as the 
ICT Industry prepares for the eventual transition from IEC 60950-1 (and 
IEC 60065) to IEC 62368-1. ECMA International, previously known as the 
European Computer Manufacturers Association, has just published its 
Technical Report TR/106, which provides guidance and comparison between 
60950-1 and 62368-1. The report was published by ECMA’s TC12 on Product 
Safety, and the effort to develop and publish the TR was very capably 
led by Mr. Richard Nute. Thank you Rich and members of ECMA TC12! ECMA 
has a strong interest in IEC 62368-1 since its industry standard, 
ECMA-287 “Safety of electronic equipment,” which was developed and 
published in the 1990s and which first introduced hazard-based concepts, 
was the core material that IEC TC108 used when it began it project 
developing IEC 62368-1 in 2002. It is believed that the availability of 
comparison documents like TR/106 from a variety of sources helps 
industry prepare for the pending transition and also helps clear up some 
of the misconceptions about the new standard. As has been discussed in 
this group previously, IEC 62368-1 has many familiar elements from 
60950-1, including allowance for prescriptive constructions that have 
proven safe in 60950-1 and that may be used as an alternative to some of 
the performance based requirements in 62368-1. Provided below are links 
to information on ECMA TC12 and the TR/106 (available free of charge).

Hi John:


No comparison for IEC 60065.

Unfortunately, Ecma TC12 membership is dropping, so we don't
have resources to do the work.  And, TC12 should update the
existing document to the second edition of IEC 62368-1.

Let me know if you know anyone who would wish to join TC12
and help do the work!

Re: [PSES] Recast of RTTE directive

I can tell you that trying to make a unique DofC for each individual

documentation and logistics nightmare.


So who do we complain to about having a unique DofC for each specific 
product? How do we get our voices heard?

John, since you ask...(but perhaps you only meant the re-scoping)...


I did mean the re-scoping.


The RTTE recast is also be stepping forward with the unique 
equipment number requirement in the DoC which seems to require 1 DoC 
per unit (rather than 1 DoC per model line).


AARGH!!!


As I've mentioned in a previous post, this is also appearing in the 
LVD recast, though 1 parliamentarian (Zuzana Roithová) is trying to 
change the impact of this DoC requirements point 1 to be a unique 
identifier for the DoC document itself.


I hope that industry in ALL countries will strongly object to this 
impractical AND ineffective provision.


A non-compliant product can just as easily be supplied with a DoC 
carrying a serial number as a compliant product can (even though that 
is not at all easy in practice).
