The Future of HV EV Testing
|
Jason Smith, President/Engineer, Absolute EMC
|
|
Jason Smith Graduated with a BS from the University of Delaware in 1997, majoring in Engineering Technology. Overall, Jason has over 25 years of experience in the EMC industry. First testing and managing at an independent EMC test lab in Pennsylvania. Later becoming an Applications Engineering Manager for a prominent EMC and RF test equipment manufacturer, he has been a member of the USNC (US National Committee) to SC77B and SC77C, a participating member of WG10 (IEC 61000-4-3, -6), and the SAE AE2 Lightning committee. He has worked for some of the industry's leading EMC/EMI manufacturers in a managing role.
Jason created Absolute EMC Llc. in July 2018; for meeting the many requirements of the EMC industry. They offer sales & consulting services centered around the proper selection and use of EMC test equipment for IEC, MIL, automotive, and avionics testing. He provides a very broad range of EMC testing products for full compliance and pre-compliance testing. From his past experiences working for manufacturers in the industry, he saw a lack of support during and after the sale—Absolute EMC vowes to always support their customers with technical help and quick answers.
The Future of HV EV Testing
Standards are continually evolving as more feedback from more and more Electric Vehicles (EV) are in use. LV 123 was one of the first standards released, and today, the newest release of ISO 21498-2 has evolved the requirements. Additionally, new standards from OEM manufacturers' requirements go beyond these sine wave ripple testing, adding trapezoid, triangle, and double exponential pulses. We will discuss the limitations of some coupling technologies and how the limitations have been solved. The new technology available allows for more expanded testing. This opens testing to allow for more real-world transients to be easily created and coupled.

Top 10 Considerations to Ensure a Successful RF Shielded Enclosure Project
RF shielded enclosures are so common these days as EMC/EMI test environments that often they are thought of as “just a shielded box.” With the proper planning and maintenance, your RF shielded enclosure can have a long productive life and evolve as your test requirements change to adapt to new standards requirements and/or new products to test. In this presentation, as a licensed architect and since joining ETS-Lindgren in 2013, Leo will share his expertise gained from numerous RF shielded enclosure projects. His review of the Top 10 Considerations will increase the return on your investment – whether you are planning a move, add-on, retrofit, or a new enclosure installation. Attendees will learn about useful tips as well as new tools available (such as Building Information Modeling) to ensure a successful RF shielded enclosure project.

Advanced RF Safety Training & RF Measurement Techniques
This presentation is aimed to provide a more in-depth understanding and knowledge of RF radiation/RF safety: what it is and how it reacts to the human body (both biologically and when taking measurements). Many believe they only need to follow rules and procedures, with minimum RF safety training. We will cover both theoretical and practical examples so attendees can see the benefits and have a clear understanding of how RF safety applies to them in their everyday work. Main subjects covered in this session include biological effects, RF safety standards, RF test equipment, RF survey/measurements & techniques, and RF safety programs. |

Insulation Assessment in Motors using Non-Invasive Techniques
|
Swapnil Marathe, Substation Application Engineer, Megger
|
|
Swapnil Marathe is a Substation Application Engineer with Megger. He graduated from University of Texas at Arlington 2020. He worked as an intern with Megger on relay and substation applications from August 2019 to May 2020 and started as a full-time employee from May 2020. His work focus is testing transformers, batteries, and motors.
Insulation Assessment in Motors Using Non-Invasive Techniques
The status of the insulation of a rotating machine can be evaluated using different testing techniques. Static tests are performed while the motor is disconnected from the system, typically during manufacturing, commissioning, maintenance, or repairs. The goal of static tests is to provide a proper picture of electrical characteristics of the machine. Static tests are usually performed from the motor control center and do not require opening or disassembling the motor in any way. Best practices, applicable standards as well as the criteria used to analyze the condition of the insulation in rotating machines will be presented. We will go through insulation tests, resistance testing, DC hipot, and surge testing in detail. Test results of faults found using the different types of static tests are also discussed in the presentation.
