Electromagnetic Compatibility • Electromagnetic and radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) are from sources external to the equipment, through the connecting cabling by capacitive or inductive coupling from the source or through a difference of potential between the respective earth references of local equipment and remotely connected equipment. • EMI/RFI may also be generated by electrostatic discharges from the operators to panels, enclosures or cabinets, and by radiated electromagnetic fields which may be generated by two-way radios, cell phones, broadcasting and television stations, as well as radar stations. • Surge Withstand Capability - AC and DC power supplies may be susceptible to power surge generated by lightning and various switching
Background and History • IEEE NPEC – IEEE 603 -1998: Identified the need to address electromagnetic interference and provided general guidance to meet EMI/RFI compliance via design considerations and type testing in an informative annex. Specific standards that may be used to perform types were listed in the annex. • IEEE 603 -Draft: 2007 – IEEE 603 -2009: Revised and updated guidance provided in IEEE 603 1998 – IEEE 323 -2003: Identified EMI/RFI and power surges as normal and abnormal environmental conditions. • EMI/RFI susceptibility may address type testing using recommendations provided in IEEE 603 -1998 and IEEE 74. 3. 2 -2003
