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

1999-12-18 Thread James Ericson
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 p
