Re: 61000-4-8 Ground Plane

2000-06-17 Thread James Ericson
As the drawings show in EN61000-4-8, one way to achieve the required field is to let the ground plane be the fourth side of a square loop. I have found it more convenient to construct stand-alone loops that can be placed over and under the EUT which is supported above an appropriate ground plane.

Tesla and Gauss/EN61000-4-8

There is indeed a relationship between Teslas and Gauss, but admittedly it took some 'dusting' of the old physics texts when EN61000-4-8 (Power Frequency Magnetic Field Immunity) testing became a requirement under the new light industrial/residential immunity standard. When a magnetic (H) field

During a quality inspection in my lab the inspector I've got a non-conformity due to the lack of resistivity check on the 470 Kohm resistor employed to connect the reference plane of the ESD table to the ground. This is required according to EN 61000-4-2 Could anyone give me some hints in order
