The EMC Awareness for Industrial Automation Systems is a one-day training course covering a topic that continues to bring many misconceptions and challenges for both experienced technicians and engineers alike.

 

Who should attend the course?

This course is particularly targeted to those people / organizations that are involved in industrial automation and who need to conform to the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).

Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance on completion of this course.

 

What will I learn on the course?

FUNDAMENTALS:

  • Impedance – resistance / inductance / capacitance
  • Frequency / wavelength
  • Resonance
  • Differential mode vs common mode currents
  • Methods of coupling

 

ENCLOSURE (PANEL) DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:

  • Panel layout (zoning)
  • Internal bonding
  • The use and purpose of a reference plane
  • Potential issues associated with apertures
  • CE compliance of panels and devices inside them

 

EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING TECHNIQUES:

  • Bonding straps vs wires
  • Parallel earth conductors – wire / cable tray / conduit / armored cable
  • CBN / MESH-BN

 

LOW VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS & EMC:

  • TN-C, TN-S and others
  • EMC considerations

 

EMC TESTING AND EQUIPMENT:

  • Oscilloscopes
  • Spectrum analyzers
  • Clamps and probes
  • Cable segregation
  • Shielding theory
  • Shielding connection techniques
  • EMC glands

 

VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES:

  • Basis of operation
  • Supply cabling / filtering / harmonics / shielding / Bearing protection / cable rating
  • Motor cabling / emissions / shielding
  • Common problems
