EMC Engineering

Electronic devices have to run properly, be secure and safe from interferences. They should neither influence other devices during the operation nor cause inadmissible circuit feedback. To be able to ensure this in the research and development processes, Deutronic has an in-house EMC test laboratory (electromagnetic compatibility). The laboratory with its consulting and proposed solutions is used together with local partners.

Proposed solutions for interference suppressions with its know-how from our development of power electronics.

  • EMC tests
  • CE-Precompliance
  • EMC testing during development
  • EMC advisory service
  • Proposed solutions for interference suppression

Conversion on site with merchantable standard components and specially made assemblies from our in-house electronics manufacturing.
