EMC Testing Expertise
automotive
The Automotive industry has a long history testing to EMC requirements, upholding a high-level of safety and quality. National and international organizations, such as ISO, ANSI, SAE, and JASO, create standards, then each manufacturer will use these standards as a base line to have their own requirements and standards. This creates a large variety of requirements, since there are many manufactures with their own customized standards.
Some of the few common standards are: ISO 7637, ISO 11452, Ford EMC-CS-2009.1, and GMW 3097. AE Techron offers a variety of products that cover common standards, such as ISO 7637-2, ISO 16750, GMW 3172, FMC 1278, VW 80000, and many others.
aviation
As aircraft electronics continue to evolve, so do their power requirements. On board generators are now able to allow the frequency to vary with engine speed. Today there are a number of both Aerospace AC and DC power standards with which commercial aircraft systems have to comply.
Commercial avionics tests standards such as DO-160 and EuroCAE 14 have a wide range of AC power immunity tests that are required to be performed on airborne electronics. More recently, several commercial aircraft manufacturers have developed their own version of these test standards based largely on DO-160. Examples are Airbus ABD0100.1.8 (A380), ABD0100.1.8.1 (A350), Airbus AMD24C (A400M) and Boeing B787 (Dreamliner).
CAPACITOR
Often products are used at a different voltage and frequency from the country in which they are produced. This creates a need to convert both voltage and frequency on a production line. Life test is also a critical need for manufacturers in testing their product’s use over time. A consistent voltage and frequency provide a stable environment where product failures are due to something other than a fluctuation in power.
MILITARY
In military applications safety, consistency, and reliability are critical — which is why military equipment is held to far more rigorous standards than their commercial counterparts. These standards are of great concern to the military industry as a whole; including military contractors, sub-contractors, and manufacturers. In order for your product to end up in the hands of the military, it must be thoroughly EMC tested according to a wide range of standards for quality, safety, and reliability.
Military EMC testing is vital to ensure that the equipment and systems the military uses can handle the harsh electrical and environmental requirements of the modern battlefield, whether it is on the ground, in the air, or on the sea. There are environmental complications and power quality issues that must be addressed to ensure that the product performs as it should.
TELECOM
NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental design guidelines applied to telecommunications equipment. NEBS requirements cover network telecom equipment that is intended for installation and deployment in the Service Provider’s Central Office. NEBS testing is a required industry standard needed to assure service providers that equipment installed in their central office is compatible with other equipment and will not jeopardize network integrity.
