Yes, these are conducted emissions. I used a pair of 50 uH, 50 Ohm LISNs designed as far as I know to CISPR 16. A spectrum analyzer swept from 0.5 - 3.5 MHz using a 9 kHz rbw with no video averaging (initially). I did not check what the quasi-peak detector read. The set-up did not perfectly rep

In article , Allen Tudor writes >Does >capacitance between the body and earth come into play? Yes. And most things are a bit moist (except in Arizona, of course, where even the water is dry, or so I am reliably informed), so there may not be as much insulation resistance as appears at first sight

Allen, If you are still alive after conducting (ha, ha) some home experiments: Unless you are fortunate in having an extremely non conductive floor in a very dry humidity environment then you will quite likely experience some level of shock. Even standing on wooden floor boards does not guarantee

I believe Mr. Townsend may have uncovered the underlying issue here. The relaxation of emission limits was at least partially rationalized by the lower energy consumption associated with fluorescent bulbs. Lower energy consumption means lower green house gases and lower pollution, which is a good
