Introduction to EMC Training Course
This course provides an introduction to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for those that are new to EMC or need a refresher. The basics of EMC are explained together with the method of demonstrating compliance with the EU EMC Directive 2014/30/EU for CE Marking and UK EMC regulations for UKCA Marking and other relevant directives and regulations. Electromagnetic resilience for safety is outlined. The types of EMC standards and EMC testing are described.
This course is for design engineers who wish to understand the basics of EMC, EMC tests and how to achieve compliance.
