This year’s EMC Fest is focused on the theory and real-world EMC aspects of cabling and enclosures. Throughout the day, speakers Ms. Karen Burnham and Dr. Robert Scully will lead interactive sessions (along with practical demonstrations) that illustrate key principles and challenges in EMC with regards to these often-overlooked aspects. Agenda: Hour 1 – Dr. Robert (Bob) Scully: Electromagnetic Fields and Shielding Requirements Bob will kick off the conference with an in-depth discussion of electromagnetic fields, covering the differences between near field and far field, and the implications for designing effective magnetic and electric field shielding. Attendees will gain insights into the importance of selecting the appropriate shielding techniques based on field characteristics. This session will also include a comparison of CISPR 36 and CISPR 12, explaining why both standards are important despite their differences. A live demonstration will showcase these concepts in action. Hour 2 – Ms. Karen Burnham: When Shielding and Cabling Act As Antennas Karen will explore how shielding in both cabling and enclosures can inadvertently act as antennas, influencing EMC performance. She will guide the audience through practical examples and provide a demonstration that visually illustrates how these shielding components can interact with electromagnetic fields and radiated emissions. Hour 3 – Bob: Electrical Grounding and Bonding In this session, Bob will delve into the crucial topics of electrical grounding and bonding, which play a foundational role in mitigating electromagnetic interference. Through an accompanying demonstration, Bob will demonstrate best practices for establishing proper grounding systems and explain how bonding techniques can reduce noise and improve overall system stability. Hour 4 – Karen: Transfer Impedance, Skin Depth, and Cable Terminations The final session of the day will focus on transfer impedance and skin depth, with Karen discussing their roles in EMC performance. She will conclude the day with a demonstration that compares different cable terminations and examines how these terminations affect common-mode currents in cabling and the radiated fields picked up in the near field by antennas. This hands-on demonstration will solidify key concepts and their practical applications in real-world EMC challenges.
