Electromagnetic compatibility: the safety issues(18/12/2012)
While electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a machinery safety issue that many machine builders find complex, there can be no doubt about the need for it. For example, if the control system of a machine experiences electromagnetic interference it may malfunction and create a dangerous situation. Conversely, if the electrical and electronic systems fitted to a machine generate a high level of interference, they may also cause other equipment nearby to malfunction.
