Calibration of transient EMI simulators

Abstract

This paper describes the criticality in quantifying the electrical parameters of ESD, EFT and High Energy Surge simulators. It also addresses the effort taken by SAMEER-CEM in establishing an in-house calibration facility with a Custom Oriented Calibration Program for calibrating the specialized EMC Test and Measuring Equipments in line with the requirement of ISO 9000 certification. It also highlights the importance of setting up a National Calibration Laboratory at SAMEER-CEM, Chennai to calibrate all the specialized EMC Test and Measuring Equipments held by various EMC test laboratories across the country.
