Manual VIPA HMI Chapter 3 Installation Guidelines In critical cases you should implement special EMC measures! • Connect snubber networks to all inductive loads that are not controlled by special EMC modules. • Use incandescent lamps for illumination purposes inside cabinets or cubicles, do not use of fluorescent lamps.
Chapter 3 Installation Guidelines Manual VIPA HMI EMC-equitable assembly Mostly, measures for suppressing interference voltages are only taken, when the control is already in commission and the perfect receive of a wanted signal is disturbed. Causes for such interference's are in the most cases inadequate reference potentials, coming from mistakes at the device assembly and installation.
