In order to expand the activities in the field of testing, ICMET has set up the first Romanian modern Laboratory for Electromegnetic Compatibility
( EMC ) wich is intended to ensure EMC for electric power equipment and power electronics.

The Lab is the result of a close cooperation between ICMET Craiova and Phsikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt-PTB Braunschweig, Germany.

At present the immunity tests and conducted disturbance measurement performed by this laboratory are accredited by RENAR.

In 2000 it was put into operation the semi-anechoic chamber, the first of this kind in Romania.

Technical Characteristics

Immunity according to EN 61000-4-3
In the measuring area
(L x H=1,5 x 1,5 m) uniform field within imposed tolerance limits
(0dB, +6dB) for at least 75% of the area (12 of 16 measuring points).
Measuring distance: 3 m
Provisions of EN 61000-4-3 are guaranteed within the frequency range: 80MHz-18GHz
Radiated disturbances according to
EN 55022: Preconformity

In the "quiet" area (diameter 1m)

• 30-90MHz NSA: ± 9,5dB
• 90-200MHz NSA: ± 6,5dB
• 200-1GHz NSA: ± 4dB
• 1-18GHz NSA: ± 4dB
