1.2 TEST SUMMARY
The following is a summary of the EMI tests that were performed:*

DESCRIPTION STATUS
a) Conducted Emissions, CE01, 60 Hz to 15 kHz Passed
b) Conducted Emissions, CE03, 15 kHz to 50 MHz Passed*
c) Conducted Emissions, CE07, Time Domain Transients Passed
d) Powerline Conducted Susceptibility, CS01 30 Hz to 50 kHz Passed
e) Powerline Conducted Susceptibility, CS02 50 kHz to 400 MHz Passed
f) Powerline Conducted Susceptibility, CS06, Spikes Passed
g) Radiated Emissions, RE02, 14 kHz to 1 GHz, BB; 14 kHz to 10 GHz, NB Failed
h) Radiated Susceptibility, RS02, Magnetic Induction Fields Passed
i) Radiated Susceptibility, E-Field, RS03, 10 kHz to 10 GHz Failed**

*

During the initial CE03 test it was observed that the conducted EMI was high because the output leads radiated and coupled to the input leads.  To reduce the radiation and coupling from the load wires, the metal load box was placed inside the shielded room and the output leads were shortened to 8 inches.  After the CE01 and CE03 tests, paint was sanded from the load box and the box was bonded to the ground plane with conductive tape.
** 5 Vdc output ripple waveform did not change but the output DC voltage dropped below 4.0 Vdc.

1.3 PURPOSE OF EMI and EMS TESTS
clear_dot.gif (807 bytes)
The purpose of the EMI and EMS tests were to measure levels of conducted and radiated interference emitted from the EUT and to determine the immunity of the EUT to external electromagnetic signals and fields.  The test results were compared with the specified limits.
The EMI and EMS measurements on this EUT were relatively complex.  These tests were performed under the direct guidance of EMACO's Principal Engineers:  Mr. David Bernardin and Mr. Herb Mertel.

1.4 DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT UNDER TEST
clear_dot.gif (807 bytes)
The EUT was a DC to DC power supply with the following specifications:
In: 28Vdc
Out: 5Vdc/4 A
Output Ripple: 100 mVp-p at 25 MHz
The power supply had only one connector, a 9-pin, D-subminiature.  Pin 6 was the +28 Vdc lead and Pin 1 was the 28 Vdc return.  For testing, pins 4 and 5 were soldered together to one wire to form the +5 Vdc output.  Similarly, pins 8 and 9 were connected to one wire for the 5 Vdc return.
The electrical output load was a resistor bank mounted in a metallic box.  The EUT and load box were electrically bonded to the ground plane for all tests except the conducted emissions tests.  The output leads between the EUT and load box were 8 inches.
