Do any of you have any standard torture tests that test your products against common levels of noise and spikes? I am not interested in formal EMC testing at a lab, just something that can be homebrewed. We have a machine we use that consists of a lamp dimmer with a 100 watt lamp, a couple of heavy duty contactors that clack each other on and off, and an electric mixer connected to one of the clacking relays going rrumm rrrumm rrumm. It is an extremely crude machine, but pretty effective at making noise. I am wondering if anyone else does this sort of testing. -- Lawrence Lile Sean Alcorn - PIC Stuff Sent by: pic microcontroller discussion list 11/07/02 08:40 AM Please respond to pic microcontroller discussion list To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU cc: Subject: Re: [PIC]: AC mains into PIC pin > Has anyone ever seen the sparks that fly from the > plug when un-plugging their shop-vac from the mains > w/o using the normal On/Off power switch?
