Categories >> Electrical & Instrumentation:     Grounding and Shielding Techniques For EMI, EMC and ESD     Program Duration : 5 Days Program Date : 24-28 March ,2012 Program Location : Cairo, Egypt Program Fees : US$ 3200/Per Person      PROGRAM INTRODUCTION: The course is not an in-depth electrical engineering course but rather is aimed at individuals who require an intensive overview of basic principles, potential pitfalls and practical techniques, without the assumption of much prior knowledge of the topic. The course is fast paced and as non-mathematical as possible. It begins with a review of electrostatic concepts, such as charges, fields and forces. It then takes up the basic theory of electrostatic and electromagnetic fields and field coupling. Armed with an understanding of the problem-causing mechanisms, students are prepared to devise solutions. The course addresses practical considerations such as cabling choices and the proper design and use of grounds. Effective grounding and shielding of amplifiers, voltmeters and enclosures will be covered.   PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: Help participants to understand grounding and shielding concepts and terminology. Provide an overview of the newest and most effective techniques for overcoming problems through the proper use of grounds PROGRAM OUTLINES: Review of Electrostatics: Charges, fields, and forces   Electric Fields Capacitance definition Self and mutual concepts Screening and shielding concepts Electric Field Coupling Crosstalk Capacitive Coupling Crosstalk from Pulses Using Ground to Reduce Capacitance Electrostatic Shielding Voltage sources The Earth Plane Room Pickup Magnetic Field Coupling Coupling Between Lines Loop Area Mutual Inductance Between Wires Ground Plane and Wire Position, Orientation Coupling Between Inductors High-mu Material Inductors Mixed Coupling Impedance Effect on Coupling Type Dual Analysis Superposition Model Coupled Response Extended Model Typical Response Line Termination Cables Electrostatic Discharge Turboelectric Series Inductive Coupling Charge Storage Human Body Model Discharge into Ideal Ground Types of ESD Damage Common Myths About ESD ESD Prevention ESD Protection in Equipment Design Coupling Mechanism ESD Coupling in Cables General Applications Conditioning the Signal Types of Amplifiers Critical Amplifier Characteristics Errors Noise Rejection Shielding Power Supply Restriction Source Impedance Bridge Circuit Calibration Amplifier Source Compatibility Characteristics, Types of Amplifiers Amplifier Compatibility Piezoelectric Transducers Charge Amplifiers Filtering Amplifier Limiting WHO SHOULD ATTEND?   This course is intended for; Individuals whose work requires an understanding of the effects of interacting electrostatic and magnetic fields on electrical and electronic equipment.
