If product committees want to use these for compliance, they are free to do
so, but the IEC guidelines in 1000-4-1 make it clear which have general
applicability and which do not. This one does NOT.

If I'm not mistaken, there IS an FAA regulation prohibiting the use of cell
phones in airplanes -- I have the regs at home and will look it up.

igher voltages -- 1kV
intervals for contact mode and 2kV intervals for air discharge.
It's clear these requirements will go forward -- there's just too much
evidence for the existance of the phenomena, even though the reasons aren't
always clearly understood for a specific EUT.
t a draft annex is now being circulated
that would allow TEM cells, but ONLY if a TEM wave can be demonstrated
throughout the frequency range being used (3-axis measurement, undesired
vectors > 6 db down).
For emissions to EN's, TEM cells are not allowed for compliance testing.

Having seen numerous postings relating to job openings in EMC, I trust the
following is not out of line:
Electronic Design Engineer Position
Senior electrical/electronic engineer with analog design background to work
on design of KeyTek's pulsed-EMI (surge, EFT) and ESD test systems. The
idea
the load. If this extra line is a
single line and not paired with a return, it will likely operate as an
antenna. If that line were the same impedance as the load, half the energy
from the source would go to the "antenna" and half to the load...

rhaps the higher levels are required NOT because ESD is more of a problem,
but because a failure could be more catastrophic than in your average
office. Improper switching could cause realitively large scale outages and
possible damage to the system.

ch greater than 42 ohms (if it's only
42 ohms for the surge voltage frequencies, you'll only get 50% of the
desired surge voltage -- ohms law). Anyway, it isn't simple. If someone does
have a good way of increasing the signal frequency capability of the CDN's,
we'd like to
all directions as soon
as you entered the sub-station..

nge, but a 15kV discharge
from the end of your finger is something you'd remember! Even 10kV is pretty
uncomfortable..
Hope this is helpful, but I doubt it would influence the people who wrote
the standard...
