Techniques to achieve cost-effective emissions and immunity screening solutions that meet electromagnetic compatibility requirements were provided in Part I of this article, which covered design options for seams and gaskets. Part II continues with a discussion of materials compatibility, corrosion and apertures.
Manufacturers of electromedical equipment must test their products to the new requirements set out in collateral standard EN 60601-1-2:2001. The new tests to ensure correct risk analysis are outlined here.
Design engineers need to consider the electromagnetic performance of printed circuit boards to adhere to electromagnetic compatibility requirements. This article examines factors that influence performance and outlines techniques to avoid the use of overly expensive screen enclosures in order to comply with the standards.
Part I of this two-part article addresses the basic theory of screening and outlines the choice of gasket and methods that can be employed to create a successful enclosure.
