SCHURTER has the capabilities and expertise to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC), in order to prevent appliances from interfering with one another through unwanted electrical or electromagnetic effects. This involves understanding the technical and legal regulations that are established to prevent reciprocal interference in electrical engineering. Our team of EMC specialists offers a comprehensive and professional EMC testing service using one or more of our several production sites, which are certified according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. The manufacturing process is overseen by quality management. From receipt of incoming goods all the way through to front-end customer service, quality measurements are applied.

SCHURTER is a leading partner of the electronics and electrical industries for passive and electromechanical components such as: fuses, circuit breakers, connectors, EMC products and input systems. We focus on components ensuring clean and safe supply of power, as well as ease of use. Products are developed, manufactured and distributed over a professionally organized network of regional representatives and distributors worldwide, always according to the requirements of our customers.

At SCHURTER, more than 50 engineers are dedicated to developing our products and manufacturing systems, using the latest in design and testing tools and systems.

SCHURTER guarantees consistently high quality and absolute reliability in each and every one of its products. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities as well as our up-to-date know-how make sure we can fulfill our motto: “Clean & Safe Power – Ease of Use�?. Our expertise encompasses injection molding, metalworking, electroplating, assembly with automated manufacturing systems, casing system design and manufacturing, PCB assembly as well as EMC product assembly.

Competence

SCHURTER offers a broad range of standard products, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility, i.e. preventing technical appliances from interfering with one another.

EMC Products

These fields are perceived as interference. EMC interference sources include:

· Electromagnetic fields, deliberately generated by transmitters operating in frequencies

ranging from a few kHz up to more than 30 GHz (microwaves).

· Lightning strikes.

· Switching events in low-voltage networks cause high-energy surges.

· Switching events in power electronics (switching power supplies) cause high-frequency transients and flicker.

· Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (NEMP) caused by a nuclear explosion.

· Electrostatic discharges – ESD.

· High-frequency signals caused for instance by load changes in microprocessors or when using frequency converters.

According to the law, electrical appliance manufacturers must ensure EMC compliance by putting in place appropriate protection requirements. The statutory limits regarding interference resistance or interference radiation have been specified in relevant standards. Over the last few years, the statutory limits and regulatory frameworks in Europe have been harmonized in accordance with the new 2004/108/EC EMC guideline, and equivalent standards for North America.

General Product Information

In addition to its broad product range, SCHURTER also offers measurement services to ensure all customer requirements for EMC compliance.

Success is our permanent incentive. We are used to being innovative to meet challenges in diverse markets, working toward and being part of our customers’solutions. Our R&D teams drive forward with new ideas and bold realizations each day anew.

In addition to its attenuation properties, a filter’s geometry and its system interface play decisive parts. Depending on where the filter is used, a filter casing is often not even necessary, making additional materials cost savings possible. Open frame filters are subsystems designed exactly to our OEM customers’ specifications. SCHURTER will build a customer-specific solution exclusively for you.

Upon request we will conduct testing to eliminate interference in electrical equipment using our mobile measurement tools directly on site.

SCHURTER offers a mobile measurement service equipped with all necessary tools for line-bound measurements (IEC 61000-6-3 und IEC 61000-6-4), allowing various systems or equipment conformity tests to be performed directly at the manufacturer’s or user’s site.

The measurement results will be compiled in an EMC measurement report. This report will serve as proof of CE conformity.

Individual interference problems require the development of special filter solutions. In cooperation with customers, SCHURTER will prepare samples including documentation within an 8 business day turnaround time.

Please don’t hesitate to contact us, should you need further information. We will gladly make your problems our challenges. SCHURTER endeavors to provide you with the most optimal EMC solution.
