SEMINAR AVAILABILITY

EMR awareness training course



“EMC Technologies has moved into their newly constructed offices and test facilities at Keilor Park, just one kilometre away from the old Keilor Park offices. 

The new building includes a large conference room completely equipped with the latest Audio-Visual equipment and facilities.

From the end of February, RF EMR Awareness courses will be presented as public or private courses on a regular basis at your venue or at EMC’s conference rooms in Melbourne (Keilor Park) or Sydney (Seven Hills). Public courses are more convenient and cost effective when training is required for low numbers of personnel.

Alternatively, the courses can be presented as an in-house course at your premises. 

All courses are available after-hours however a surcharge applies. 
If you need further information, please contact your nearest EMC Technologies office.”

We have formulated these seminars in response to client enquiries and evolving information needs.

TELL US WHAT YOU NEED

If you find that you require detailed coverage of a particular compliance area (for instance you may be a medical product manufacturer and feel that you and your industry peers would benefit from a detailed coverage of your unique compliance requirements).....LET US KNOW!

As many of our clients have discovered in the past, minimising compliance costs and maximising global market penetration requires a comprehensive knowledge of the design strategies imposed by the compliance tests your product will have to pass to enter your target markets.

MODIFY DESIGN TECHNIQUE WITH COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS

An engineer that can exercise a broad EMI design perspective at the very first design meeting can implement key strategies from the outset and minimise unnecessary retrofits. Product housing and assembly process, interface layout, cable looming, major component location, port locations...all of these affect emissions and susceptibility performance and can be optimised early usually at no extra cost well before you even begin to consider special filtering requirements.

In turn, there is no substitute for a thorough knowledge of the applicable technical standards and regulations. Successfully designing to a required performance level is a talent that relies on modifying your theory and experience with the actual performance levels demanded by the standard. If your amplifier doesn't have to go into space or onto a battlefield, why pay for the ability?

SAFETY AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS

The early design stage is an ideal time to assess the impact of EMI/EMC requirements on your usual safety compliance methods. This is apparent for module layout and isolation requirements, but can be more subtle such as the ground leakage limitations for medical and other devices. There's no point doing the numbers later when, having gone into production, you realise that to decrease the conducted emissions below the limit you can install a large common mode capacitor.....works well, cheap and effective, but you can't do it!

Damn! You could have fixed all this earlier by increasing rise-times, experimenting with circuit layout, partitioning and internal shielding of noisy circuits using feed through caps, and other techniques. Are you serious? Why have you done this? Nah! Wait till we test it! It can't be that hard to fix if it fails! Project Managers begin to say yes to a lot of things when they see what should have been a couple of days testing stretching beyond a week and piling up time-to-market.

ASSESS PROBLEMS EARLY - NOT DURING TESTING

If the product doesn't pass, you either throw it in the bin or formulate solutions that can be integrated into production processes with minimal impact. A quick, easy and economical fix (for the experienced) will allow you to breathe easier, but what if your product produces powerful emissions that don't come to heel with the "usual" fixes? What if your design doesn't allow an easy implementation of these fixes? Without redesign, the solutions can be difficult and expensive. YOU MUST ASSESS POTENTIAL EMI/EMC PROBLEMS AS PART OF THE DESIGN SPECIFICATION.

Strive to classify your product in terms of potential noise power (Variable Speed Drives, screaming DSP chipsets etc) and likely susceptibilities (especially sensitive analogue circuits). If you can isolate potential problems early, you can expand good EMI/EMC design techniques to solve them. Our seminars provide an ideal starting point for the integration of these techniques into your standard design approach.

EXPLOIT OUR KNOWLEDGE

These seminars can be conducted in-house on your premises. Alternatively, you may wish to discuss organizing a seminar amongst industry colleagues....a suitable venue could then be arranged. Prior consultation with our Technical Director Chris Zombolas will allow you to highlight particular areas where you feel more information is needed and permit a rigorous analysis and presentation of design solutions at the seminar.
