What is EMI, EMP and EMC?
Definition

4. Unwanted Signal and Interference
Definition

5.  Electromagnetic Pulse - Powerful pulse of short duration
and high intensity electromagnetic radiation such as
lightening or nuclear explosion.
Nuclear Blast
Definition

6. • Ability of IT Eqpt to operate in proximity of
electromagnetic envmt (EMI&EMP), without causing
or suffering unacceptable degradation in output or
performance
Definition

7. • 100% electronic shielding and containment.
• No EMI signal can enter inside DC
Definition

8. No Signals can go outside
Definition

9. Signals interfere with device / sys
Definition

10. EMI EMP
EMI is a low intensity
interference
EMP is a high intensity interference
Interfere the electronic /
electrical devices but does not
cause damage
It damages electrical / electronic eqpt

40.  Conductive Paint thickness – 0.025 mm to 0.050 mm
 Pros :
 Easy to use – spray
 Cost effective
 Cons :
 Mostly all conductive paint are designed for plastic casing of
devices.
 Paint can’t block medium and low freq signal.
 Such paint can’t be used for masonry work.
 Paints deteriorate with time – making shielding highly
ineffective.
 It may not be used for more than 3’ x 3’ x 3’ dimension.
 Attenuation lvl is less (<30 dB)
