Society trade show draws safety and EMC engineers

Society trade show draws safety and EMC engineersOn November 16, the Northeast Product Safety Society hosted its 17th annual Vendor’s Night. Many Boston-area engineers drove through the rain to see the latest in test equipment, shielding products, and product-safety devices. Local test labs and consultants also exhibited.

EMC products included those from Teseq (see photo), ETS-Lindgren , EM Test (recently acquired by Ametek), AH Systems, and AR . Test labs included Intertek and NTS . Consultant Lee Hill from Silent Solutions  used a spectrum analyzer to demonstrate emissions from a wire using a current probe (see photo). Chamber manufacturer Panashield’s Russ Lopez explained in the video how a paper-based absorber for frequencies above 1 GHz retains its integrity over long periods.

The Northeast Product Safety Society holds monthly meetings from September through June. Most meetings feature a speaker on technical topics relating to electrical product safety or EMC.
