ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Some basic rules must be followed in order to ensure Electromagnetic Compatibility. Non observance of these rules may have serious consequences in the operation of the electrical installation: disturbance of communication systems, nuisance tripping of protection devices, and even destruction of sensitive devices. This chapter provides best practices and recommendations on EMC implementation, wiring recommendations ...
