Radiated or Conducted EMI, How to Tell One From the Other?
In this newsletter:
Conducted and Radiated EMI | Which One is More Harmful | Influence of Radiated EMI on Conducted Measurements | How to Separate and "Cancel" Radiated EMI in Conducted Measurements
Radiated emission propagates through the air, conducted one - via the wires or via any other conductor (such as metal parts of equipment). You can't have one without the other - any voltage or current generates fields, and any field generates voltages and currents in conductors - after all, this how antennas work. The dealing with these two types of emission is quite different.

Ametek Grounding Reels now a stocked item
Hunter Spring have been producing static grounding reels, also known as static discharge reels, for over 50 years. Their reels are used all over the world for grounding and bonding industrial, commercial and military equipment (NSN numbers available). As a supplier to many customers in the fuel transportation and aircraft refuelling industries, they meet exacting specifications (A-A-50696) in critical applications where the discharge of static electricity could cause a spark and subsequent explosion.
The ROTA-REEL and Heavy-Duty ML-2930 and ML-3416 series reels are built for reliable performance and can be used when combustible materials are transferred between carriers (rail to rail, rail to truck, truck to tank, etc). These static grounding reels are ideal for use in ground support for aircraft, bulk powder transfer stations, terminals and refineries.
The newly designed stainless steel reels offer enhanced protection in harsh, outdoor and combustible dust environments as well as food and pharmaceutical applications where paint and surface coatings are prohibited.

We are proud to be the Channel Partner for TIMM Technology GmbH
TIMM Technology GmbH is a leading developer and manufacturer of high-quality safety technology "Made in Germany" for the field of intelligent explosion protection and the new renewable energies division. Since 1963, our products have guaranteed the highest level of safety for people, the environment and operating facilities. TIMM's electronic measurement and control technology ensures safety on tank farms, in ports and industrial plants worldwide; mainly in the petrochemical and chemical industries. Our TIMM devices are used, among other things, for the loading and unloading of flammable liquids and for qualified access control to hazardous areas. "Safety is our top priority at our tank farm. That's why we also rely on TIMM devices." (Project Manager, Shell Deutschland Oil GmbH, Terminal Hamburg)
Wearable HBM voltage monitor
Welcome the IONA StatIQ™ Band - Have you ever wondered just how effective your personnel static control procedures and grounding systems are, simply by just walking through your facility?
The StatIQ Band allows you to do just that ... walk through your EPA and observe the static generation / retention / decay in real time, via the App, on your smart phone.
Smaller and lighter than a pack of cards, the StatIQ™ Band is worn on the upper arm. Click the image to read more.
Static Control Awareness Seminars
What do grounding wrist straps & footwear actually do & how effective are they? What materials to use, or not? How to set up an EPA (ESD Protected Area) or other static control environments? How do we test this equipment and space? What do Ionisers do? When is "antistatic" not good enough? And more …
Our Static Control Awareness Seminars, which can be tailored, offer practical demonstrations & information that helps to clarify why Static Control is important.
Bimos ESD Chairs
Made in Germany, Bimos ESD / Antistatic Chairs are groundable, robust and comfortable.
They have been manufactured in a way that meets Static Control Standards such as IEC 61340-5-1 & ANSI/ESD S20.20.
With options of fabric & synthetic leather, they are available in 120kg body weight as standard, while the BS160 caters for up to 160kg, still maintaining its groundable static control properties.
Static Control Floor Testing
Do you have a Static Control Floor / ESD Floor / Static Safe Floor / "Antistatic" Floor, albeit vinyl, rubber, carpet, paint or resin? Is it actually antistatic/low charging &/or groundable, i.e. conductive or dissipative? Wouldn't you like to know?
IEC61340 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 have standards & procedures that enable us to test & report on Resistance-to-Ground (Ohms) with statistical data (IEC61340-4-1 & STM7.1) and HBM (Hunan Body Model) Tribocharge Effect Walk Test (V) with graph and average peaks (IEC61340-4-5 & STM97.2).

Fully groundable modular tiles, DIY install without glue
Loose-laid Static Control flooring is a fantastic solution to the problem of having to install an 'ESD' floor in an area that is only a temporary location or "overlooked".
Install directly on top of carpet, vinyl, concrete ... pretty much whatever.
Usually, there’s no need to grind, lift vinyl or tiles and as long as the sub-floor is flat, sound & dry, you’re good to go ... when it’s time to move, just take them with you.
