A high power pulse machine is a large source of electromagnetic interference (40 GA/s and 30 TV/s). For a laboratory application, this machine had to comply with the requirements for EMC in an industrial environment. In addition, the internal control system, in particular the safety control system, must not be affected by the interference.

To achieve this, I have consistently relied on optical sensors in highly exposed areas. I also adjusted the shielding. The individual steps were checked by internal emission measurements and approved by final measurements in a certified laboratory.

Despite the measures I chose, the simple and safe operation of the machine remained guaranteed.
