Hello Folks,

So far I've got no responses from the usual places and chances are they
can't accommodate us this time. We want to do conducted susceptibility
measurements on electronics for a truck.
That runs off the mains when it's static ?

Nope, battery.

Since the cables will likely
radiate off the stuff that's injected into them this would have to be
done in a somewhat shielded environment. Doesn't need the foam
dispersers and stuff but at least a good tight shield.

The problem: This is a full size tractor-trailer kind of truck. Full
length with sleeper cab. Dismantling the exhaust stacks won't help much
since the cab is almost that high itself. IOW it's "da big machine".
Sans trailer though.

Any ideas? Ideally a lab that has the big amps and stuff so we don't
have to rent. But either way is fine. Locations around Fremont, CA or at
least Bay Area surroundings would be great. These things often yield
only 5mpg or less on Diesel ...
Is this to meet IEC ?

It's not for Europe but we must make sure it withstands inclement weather such as tropical thunderstorms without frying stuff.


That's probably a 'system' not an 'equipment'. May have all sorts of leeway
with that.

It'll be equipment.


More details ?

Then I'd get shot ;-)

Essentially wires going across the chassis that control this, that and the other thing. So they will be (somewhat) susceptible to magnetic field pickup. We want to find out at what level that starts to cause issues. Having seen the circuit this will happen well beyond the usual EMC field strengths so we can't do that in open air. The Federales would swoop in and whisk us away.

Joerg, you may want to try Bay Area Compliance Labs (BACL),
in Mountain Vew CA, a stone trow from Moffet Field.

http://www.baclcorp.com/

They tested a "famous" electric car in their indoors 10 m chamber.
contact Tian Wang- Mendez, 408-732-9162 x3106.
if you need more details about their capabilities.
You may mention my name.

Good luck, Jure Z.


Thanks! Got her voice mail and left a message with some details and to call back.
