Electromagnetic Emissions European Union Directive 2014/30/EU
Before operating this equipment it is essential that the following risk
assessment be taken.
As this
equipment
will produce an
electromagnetic
emission when
actually arcing down
through
a fault to earth, a risk
assessment
of the area
in which the unit will be used should be carried out. For example, the
equipment
should not be
operated
where the electromagnetic
disturbance generated
may hinder the
operation
of such
apparatus
as:
●
Domestic radios and television receivers
●
Industrial manufacturing equipment
●
Mobile radio equipment. Mobile radio and commercial radio
telephone equipment
●
Medical and scientific apparatus
●
Information technology equipment
●
Domestic appliances and household electronic equipment
●
Aeronautical and marine radio apparatus
●
Educational electronic equipment
●
Telecommunications networks/apparatus
●
Radio & television broadcast transmitters
●
Lights and fluorescent lamps.
The Directive also requires the above types of equipment to have an
adequate level of electromagnetic immunity from such emissions.
However, it should be borne in mind when doing an assessment that the
directive applies to equipment supplied or taken into service after
1st January 1996 and that the equipment you are assessing, although
legal, because of age, may not have this immunity.
Common areas of risk are computers, critical safety equipment
(fail/safe electronics), supply cables, control cables, signalling and
telephone cables above, below and adjacent to the area where the
tests are being carried out. The wearers of pacemakers and hearing
