the 8th international workshop of electromagnetic compatibility

ABSTRACTS
1. A REVIEW OF STUDIES ON HEALTH EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
FIELDS
Michel IANOZ
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne, SWITZERLAND
Abstract
The health effects of Electromagnetic fields have been extensively studied in the last 30 years.
The paper will present the main sources of fields which have been considered as potentially
harmful for human health. Even if an electro-sensitivity for certain persons can not be denied,
epidemiological and experimental studies on plants, animals and humans could not put into
evidence a clear effect of such fields, at levels of intensity to which people are submitted in the
each day life. The standards written to fix limits for the fields on international level will be shortly
presented and discussed.
2. HYBRID AND ELECTRICAL VEHICLE EMC TESTING GUIDELINES
Uwe FLOR
EM TEST GmbH, Kamen, GERMANY
Abstract
The introduction of electrical vehicles and hybrid electrical vehicles (EVs/HEVs) has resulted in
an increase of testing demands from automotive manufacturers. The fact that many such
vehicles are powered by connecting directly to an external power station, now means that
Electrical Vehicle manufacturers need to meet standard testing requirements outside the
traditional transient automotive testing range (ISO 7637‐2). This is a great challenge for such
manufacturers. Due to the close cooperation between EM TEST and the global car
manufacturers this tutorial could inform you on the most important news in regard to:
• Comparison between the EMC requirements according to ECE Regulation 10, Annex
17‐22 and the product standard IEC 61851‐21 Ed. 2.0 Part 21 (Requirements for
Electric vehicles for conductive connection die an AC/DC supply)
• The new test methods of the ECE R10 according to annex 17 to 22 are focused on
“RESS charging mode coupled to the power grid” including:
• Methods of testing for immunity of electrical/electronic sub‐assemblies (ESA) to
electrical fast transient/burst disturbances conducted along AC and DC power lines
• Methods of testing for immunity of electrical/electronic sub‐assemblies (ESA) to Surges
conducted along AC and DC power lines
• Methods of testing for emission of harmonics generated on AC power lines of
electrical/electronic sub‐assemblies(ESA)
• Methods of testing for emission of voltage changes, voltage fluctuations and flicker on
AC power lines of electrical/electronic sub‐assemblies (ESA)
• Testing of Electrostatic discharge (ESD) according to ISO 10605:2008
• What are the new requirements for cars and components caused by the connection to
the public mains supply 230V/400V during charging
• What are the consequences for car manufacturers and sub‐suppliers
• What are the differences between tests outside the vehicle (charging stations) and
inside the vehicle
