FALSE ALARMS FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS 1.0 Introduction Fig. 1 - Electrical arc between two electrical contacts while they are Control Logic Spark Detectors are designed and certified for opening an electromagnetic immunity level greater than required by CE norms (EMC directive). If other electrical equipment present in the plant have an electromagnetic emission level lower than required by CE norms, false alarms are not expected.

FALSE ALARMS FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS Conclusions Electromagnetic noise pulses, those that are only a fraction of a microsecond in length, are difficult to verify due to their fast, momentary and unpredictable nature. Yet they are the most treacherous ones since they are difficult to verify and can trigger spark detectors false alarms because detector response is very fast.
