Electromagnetic compatibility laboratory (EMC)
This laboratory has two EMC CISPR 25 chambers for automotive components, with a range of 10 kHz - 18 GHz. The internal dimensions of the SAC-1 are 5.5 x 4.6 x 3.02 m allowing standard measurements at 1 m. The internal dimensions of the SAC-3 camera are 6.16 x 5.26 x 3.02 m and allow measurements to 3 m for special automotive components (EV batteries, powertrain, etc.).
Both chambers are equipped with Rohde&Schwarz ESU7 EMI receiver and RF amplifiers for immunity tests up to 200 V/m (radiated electric field) or 300mA (injected current).
The laboratory is able to perform EMC tests according to the standards of the main manufacturers (VW TL 81000, BMW GS 95002-2, MBN 10284-2, Stellantis B21 7110...).
