IEC 61000-4-20 Time Domain Scan for Emissions Hotspots

The IEC 61000-4-20 standard, titled "Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) – Part 4-20: Measurement of Electromagnetic Emissions – Methodology Using a Time-Domain Scanner," provides a robust framework for measuring electromagnetic emissions from industrial products. This methodology is particularly useful in identifying and mitigating emissions hotspots that can interfere with other electronic devices, leading to potential safety risks and performance issues.

The time-domain scanner (TDS) approach enables the measurement of transient phenomena such as switching surges or impulses that are not easily captured by traditional frequency domain methods. In this service, we leverage state-of-the-art TDS equipment to provide comprehensive and accurate emissions testing for your industrial products. Our team ensures that the testing process adheres strictly to IEC 61000-4-20, ensuring compliance with international standards.

The testing procedure involves several critical steps:

  • Identification of potential emission sources within the device or system.
  • Preparation and setup of the test environment to replicate real-world conditions.
  • Application of transient signals that simulate various operational scenarios.
  • Data acquisition using high-resolution TDS instruments.
  • Analysis of acquired data to pinpoint emissions hotspots.

The results from this testing are invaluable for quality managers and compliance officers as they provide actionable insights into the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance of their products. This information is crucial in ensuring that your industrial products meet stringent international standards, thus enhancing their reliability and safety on the market.

Our service also includes a detailed report that highlights the specific emissions hotspots identified during testing. This report serves as an essential tool for R&D engineers to refine design iterations and improve product performance. Furthermore, it assists procurement teams in selecting suppliers who adhere to high EMC standards, thereby reducing the risk of non-compliance issues down the line.

By adhering strictly to IEC 61000-4-20, our service ensures that your industrial products are not only compliant with international standards but also robust against electromagnetic interference. This commitment to quality and reliability is what sets us apart in the industry.
