Compliance Testing of Harmonic Current Emissions According to IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-12.
Compliance Testing of Harmonic Current Emissions According to IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-12. Using the Vitrek PA900 Precision Harmonic Power Analyzer Introduction Compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards is mandatory for electrical and electronic equipment sold in many global markets. Among these, the IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-12 standards specify limits for harmonic current emissions of equipment connected to low-voltage public supply systems. These limits ensure that individual devices do not contribute excessively to harmonic distortion on the power grid, which can lead to overheating in transformers, nuisance tripping of breakers, and interference with other equipment. The Vitrek PA900 Precision Power [...]

Aviation NewsBrief: Industry Growth Faces Trained Technician Shortage
Introduction Prior to the COVID pandemic, the average age of a highly trained aircraft technician was 57. The airline industry, like so many others, reacted to the pandemic by reducing operations and offering early retirement as way of balancing the workforce with demand. Now the airline industry is experiencing unprecedented growth and thanks to the early retirement of senior MRO technicians, the industry is experiencing a shortfall in its population of qualified personnel. The Problem: Too Few Young Mechanics Joining the Ranks Not enough young mechanics are joining the trade. Exacerbating the situation is [...]
