EMC: Electromagnetic compatibility

For all electrotechnical equipment, EMC must be considered right from the initial design phase and the various principles and rules carried on through to manufacture and installation. This means that all those involved, from the engineers and architects that design a building to the technicians that wire the electrical cabinets, including the specialists that design the various building networks and the crews that install them, must be concerned with EMC - a discipline aimed at achieving the "peaceful" coexistence of equipment sensitive to electromagnetic disturbances alongside equipment emitting such disturbances. This publication is a compilation of many years of acquired experience at Merlin Gerin and presents various disturbances encountered and provides some practical solutions.
