What Is An EMI And EMI Seals

By Michael Schmidt


The modern world as people know it is filled wondrous things. Such is the innovation of electrical devices and it was become such an important part of peoples lives. Items live cellular phones and internet connection has become part of peoples lives like being able to breathe is. Their introduction has brought upon a change in society and made it easier. Thus even certain disruptions happen, it is immediately felt.

This kind of phenomena is refereed to as an electromagnetic interference or EMI for short. As its name implies, it is an disruption that occurs in the radio frequency spectrum. When this occurs, the performances of items that require electricity and that uses certain signals like cellphone signals, make calling impossible. EMI seals could be placed in things so that interferences would be lessened.

Also known as radio frequency interference or RFI because they also interfere with radio waves and disrupt them to the point of being unrecognizable. There are two cause of this phenomenon and both are man made and nature generated. If a change in electrical currents and voltages happens, it will cause EMI.

Various examples of electrical disruptions are the signals that are sent by cellphones and the electrical discharge when lightning strikes and come down on earth. This is one of the reasons that during a flight, airplanes will not allow cellular phones activated unless it is on airplane mode, as the signals sent out by the phone will disrupt the signals sent out for communication in towers to contact the plane.

When the concept of creating the radio was introduced, the problems with it were discovered right off the bat. Thus the main priority was to discover how manage the transmissions that were being interfered with. So since the beginning, many countermeasures were researched and applied in future instances and meetings were held to come up with a way.

The International Electrotechnical Commission or IEC have meet in Paris in 1933. This was done in order to solve the emerging issues with electromagnetic interference. The IEC had set up the international special committee on Radio Interferences or CISPR to produce technical solutions and publications to the problem.

Another task for the CISPR was to create testing methods. These had included what the recommended emission levels were and how high was immunity levels go. Thanks to these developments and experiments in field of this sciences, a new standard was created for electrical items when made. These methods eventually became the basis for the world wide EMC regulations that is found today.

Soon enough, legal limits for digital items were implemented during the year of 1979. This was done to limit the amount of emissions that are produced by these devices when they are used. Another thing was because the influx of these items getting into households were becoming more and more common by the day.

With the advancements that came certain things hod become more convenient for people over time. The the massive amounts of new digital devices that are sent out and created by multiple companies, were will be a need to regulate it. The thing about this is that EMI could also be used for shutting down enemy weapons and is used in battle as a way to hamper enemy forces.
