Programme overview
to meet demand another Design for EMC course rerun has been scheduled or Tues 21st - Fri 24th May 24 following a prior rerun on Tues 16th to Fri 19th Jan 24.
This 4 day Design for Electromagnetic Compatibility course provides a good outline of the basics of EM theory and common EMC problems. It covers all aspects of equipment design necessary to ensure a compliant design with a particular emphasis on PCB design and the implications of the various components. The course will include practical demonstrations and workshops.
Due to demand this course has been rerun regularly: Previous reruns were on 23 - 26 May 2023, 21 - 24 Mar 2022, 23 - 26 Mar 2021, 20 - 23 Oct 2020 and 13 - 16 July 2020.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this Design for EMC course, participants will be able to:
1. Understand EM basics – susceptibility and emissions
2. Understand common EMC pitfalls in PCB design
3. Develop a fundamental understanding of PCB current flows
Who is the course for?
The course introduces EMC and methods to both the design engineer and the manager. It will provide a good working knowledge of EMC so that the engineer can understand the EMC design features necessary to minimise the cost of meeting the EMC Directives.
