1.2 EMC Flat Front Panels “Electromagnetic comptability is the ability of a system to operate in the intended environment without causing or suffering unacceptable degradation of performance due to unintentinal electromagnetic radiation or response.” The EMC characterstics of a system therefore consist of an appropriate immunity from interference (noise immunity) and a limited emission of interference (noise emission). Elma’s EMC concept describes three levels of electromagnetic shielding performance (Performance Level). The attenuation levels will simplify the selection of sub racks for the...
