Some Key Services:
EMC Design Techniques & Remedial Countermeasures
EMC is often mistaken for a test discipline, when in fact it is a complex design regime with all aspects of the design being critical to the EMC of a product. Being a leading EMC Consultancy we advise clients to design EMC into a product to ensure the most cost effective realisation of the product. At Peak Electromagnetics we have been involved in the development of some products from the concept stage. This way we have ensured that the best EMC practices are embedded in the design, giving us a unique reputation as an EMC Consultancy.
However, if you have a product that is demonstrating poor EMC qualities, maybe identified during testing or whilst in service, then we have expertise to help you remedy these issues. Using a hands-on approach we will look at the issues in depth and propose the best way forward. In the past this has ranged from a simple reorganisation of an input/output interface box on a complex system to a complete re-engineering of a test instrument’s enclosure.
Oil Sector RF Safety Assessments for Detonators and their Firesets
Oil Sector RF Safety Assessments for Detonators and their Firesets
Drawing on experience in the defence sector in the field of radio hazards (RadHaz) to electro-explosives. We have been assessing the effects of radio frequency (RF) energy on down hole systems in the oil sector. These systems include perforating guns, gas cutters, plugging tools, cable cutters, detonator systems, firesets, safety subs, well tractors, surface test boxes and any other item that may be in a tool string. Over time these assessments have increased in scope to include other aspect of safety, including the impact of stray voltages, fluid ingress, lightning and ESD, and now normally incorporate a Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA). All assessments are peer reviewed.
TopCE & UKCA Marking Compliance
CE & UKCA Marking Compliance
It includes several routes to compliance, including a theoretical EMC analysis and full product testing. A clarification of the law recently brought the majority of military equipment under the remit of the EMC Directive. Again several routes to compliance are available and a pragmatic approach is advocated. Prior to CE marking a product other Directives, such as the Low Voltage and Machinery Directives (2006/95/EC and 2006/42/EC), may also apply. Since Brexit, these requirements still remain embedded in UK law, the compliance aspects have been changed slightly with the introduction of the UKCA mark. Peak Electromagnetics can guide you through the maze of requirements and any developments due to the ongoing Brexit process, to the declaration of conformity for your products.
