Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as a prerequisite for efficiency and safety

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as a prerequisite for efficiency and safety

The rapidly growing electrification of our everyday life is progressing seemingly unstoppably. A development that can also have undesirable effects on sensitive electronic systems. This is because the applicable standards for effective shielding from electromagnetic radiation are lagging behind technical developments. This makes it all the more important to recognise possible risks at an early stage and to assess them correctly.

Risks when operating electronic devices

In intensive care areas such as hospitals or laboratories, military installations or in industry, many electronic systems are in use for diagnostics, monitoring, treatment, etc. Electromagnetic influences from inside or outside can lead to considerable disturbances and have fatal consequences.

Risks to data security

Wherever sensitive data is processed, data security must be a top priority. Even with relatively little effort, entire IT systems can be deliberately disrupted from the outside. Appropriate measures should also be taken to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive data. Even without a cable connection, many data on computer screens, graphics and video cards can be viewed up to a distance of about 100 metres with the appropriate means.

Data processing risks

An unexpected difficulty in electronic data processing or a time-consuming disruption of the computer network are unfortunately nothing out of the ordinary. Increasingly, electromagnetic interference fields are responsible for this.

An electronic system is electromagnetically compatible (EMC) if:

  • the electromagnetic radiation caused does not interfere with its own system
  • the electromagnetic radiation caused does not interfere with other electronic systems
  • the system cannot be interfered with by other electronic systems
