Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the branch of electrical engineering that focuses on protecting electronic devices from the interference of electromagnetic energy. The unintentional generation or reception of electromagnetic energy may cause electromagnetic interference (EMI) and damage the equipment. Along with the steep and continuous increase in electronic device usage comes a corresponding increase in the possibility of interference, making EMC testing more crucial than ever.
The four types of EMC testing include: conducted immunity, conducted emissions, radiated immunity, and radiated emissions. Specific standards have been developed to ensure safety and repeatable results when testing equipment that must be followed. IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), ISO (International Organization for Standardization), and CISPR (International Special Committee on Radio Interference) work individually and together to create these standards in order to provide solutions to current global change. Our EMC and EMI testing equipment has been designed to fulfill these specific test standards such as MIL-STD-461, EN/IEC-61000-4, and CISPR.
Developers of automotive, medical, defense, aerospace, and consumer electronics technology all rely on EMC testing to ensure devices meet strict industry requirements.
Avalon Test Equipment carries a wide variety of EMC test equipment ranging from ESD guns and RF amplifiersto immunity testers.Browse our inventory by category to fulfill specific testing requirements and Test With Confidence®.
The EM Test ESD NX30 is an ESD tester to simulate ESD pulses at higher voltages up to 30 kV in both air and contact discharge mode. It satisfies requirements exceeding the EN/IEC 61000-4-2 test levels and complies with automotive test applications.
The EM Test UCS500N7 Multifunctional Transient Immunity Simulator includes everything necessary to conduct fully compliant tests at levels that go far beyond common test requirements. Surge can be tested up to 7.0kV either according to IEC/EN 61000-4-5 or ANSI/IEEE C62.41. The UCS 500N7 offers an integrated Ringwave module (optional) as per ANSI/IEEE C62.41 and IEC/EN 61000-4-12 for ringwave tests on mains supply lines.
