Electrical Interference Handbook

The Directive on EMC, and others affecting the electrical and electronics industry, are now firmly in place. In this updated guide the causes, effects and penalties of electrical interference are explained. Remedies such as methods of minimising emissions and maximising immunity are surveyed.

This handbook gives an insight into the various national and international standards and test methods. Case studies illustrate the challenge in various major industrial sectors including buildings, domestic appliances and white goods, IT, transport and automotive, lighting, medical equipment and security.
