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:
