This standard covers the immunity to conducted, differential mode disturbances and signaling in the frequency range from 2 kHz to 150 kHz. Previous research describes several electromagnetic interference (EMI) cases in this frequency range, which cover pulsed, fast changing, current waveforms. For example cases are described where static energy meters can give misreadings when loaded with pulsed currents. Fast changing time domain signals are not covered by the standards. In this paper it is shown that the current frequency domain tests are not sufficient to determine the equipment’s immunity, because of for instance non-linear effects, including saturation, digital sampling error effects and other non linear time invariant (LTI) effects.","PeriodicalId":225005,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133676302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EMC specialists advise multi-point earthing, since it is the best way to increase immunity to different kinds of disturbances. To find out which earthing method gives better results, a few measurements are performed.

In previous studies it was shown that misreadings of the static meters occur when impulsive currents are drawn from the net, even with standalone commercial off the shelf equipment. Time domain electromagnetic interference (EMI) measurements create a novel opportunity for analyzing these noisy waveforms and identifying their fundamental parameters. The next step is extending this measurement approach to on-site scenarios in which these kind of waveforms coexist in superposition with other components that are properly measured by the static meter when they occur alone. This especially holds for up and coming technologies like electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The characterization is intended in the future for describing realistic waveforms that can be used as new standardized type-testing signals, which will be employed to produce novel standards. Time Domain Electromagnetic Interference Measurement and Post-processing System (TEMPS) software is used in conjunction with a low cost baseband digitizer to measure the waveforms of EV chargers on four different lines, that is the three phases (L1, L2, and L3) and the neutral line (N) simultaneously. To distinguish the impulsive nature of the waveforms a statistical approach is performed in the form of an amplitude probability distribution (APD) diagram. Furthermore the multichannel capability of the low cost digitizer is utilized to achieve a frequency range extension by using two probes simultaneously with different frequency ranges.","PeriodicalId":225005,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129011389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As in the infrared method, a thin film (sensitive to either electric field or magnetic field) is heated by the emitted field. But here the film is coated with a polymer doped with fluorescent molecules. As the fluorescent emission depends on the temperature of the film, we get a thermofluorescent sensor.

In (2), the PCB was considered in horizontal and vertical orientations. The patch was then loaded by small solid piece of demetalized low-loss substrate of two different relative permittivities to examine the load presence influence on the radiated immunity. The wave impedance was used as the criterion. Results show that, in both cases, the load presence lowers the wave impedance, disregarding the PCB orientation with respect to the antenna in scenario (2). Moreover, no improvements due to the variation of the load permittivity value were observed in the E / H ratio distribution in a TEM cell similar to those obtained with the PCB oriented perpendicularly to the antenna in a real far-field zone. In the case where the PCB is parallel to the antenna, further improvement in the wave impedance was observed for a loaded PCB with a higher permittivity value.","PeriodicalId":225005,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124161360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A transverse electromagnetic (TEM) cell was used to simulate and measure loaded and unloaded versions of an IC. An indirect measurement demonstrated that the susceptibility of a commercial microcontroller (ATMEL SAM3S4B) was significantly reduced (~48% less failure rate for a loaded compared to an unloaded IC) thanks to that technique. Moreover, it was shown that the immunities to both E− and H−fields were enhanced in presence of a non-ferromagnetic dielectric material being much less expensive than commonly used ferrites.
