SYNOPSIS

The purpose of this course is to describe the EMC problematic normally found in the automation, with reference to harmonic emission, RFI emission, motor protection, surge protection. The course will include the description of the international standards, the different solution for solving EMC problems with several example of practical applications.


SPEAKER’S BIODATA

Stefano Bertone, Electronic Engineering, graduated from University POLITECNICO of Turin (ITALY) in 1994. He started to work in 1995 in the company PMM (Italian manufacturer of EMC instruments and Competent Body for the EMC directive). In PMM was for three years manager of the EMC laboratories and also part of the Italian committee for the EMC standards (77A and 77B). After this became pre and post sale support manager, in charge to manage also all the training and the EMC course for the customers. In the 1999 joined the FINMOTOR group as Manager of the EMC laboratory FINLAB. In the 2003 joined FINMOTOR  as technical manager for the products, in charge to develop new products like RFI filters, Passive and active Harmonic filters, high frequency reactors, MRI filters; support the sales network with training and courses, follow the international standards as for example the UL approval of the products. Part of the job was also to prepare many EMC seminars for the customers in different area of Italy. In the 2007 started to develop the international market with the brand ENERDOOR, including the startup of the subsidiaries in Switzerland, Germany and USA. For this activity prepared several seminars in these countries for the sales network and for the customers relating to EMC, Harmonics and power quality.
