How to mitigate issues caused by interference from electronic devices

ATTENDEES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION.

Electrical engineers should learn the critical role cable shields play in commercial, industrial and utility applications where shielded multiconductor cables are commonly specified. Engineers should understand the common shield types while knowing each of their unique characteristics and benefits.

Gain insights into the effectiveness of different shield types in mitigating electromagnetic interference (EMI), including in particularly demanding factory automation environments such as those involving variable frequency drives (VFDs).

We will examine the specific challenges posed by VFD applications and how proper cable shielding and termination methods can help ensure reliable and efficient system operation. Furthermore, this webcast will address the importance of cable shielding in data communication applications, like data centers, where safeguarding data transmission in sensitive electronic systems from EMI is critical for proper communication and function.

Gain a good understanding of common shielding types, termination methods and how they protect the cable and other nearby equipment. This webcast will serve to educate and enable attendees to specify the appropriate cable shield design based on specific end-use application requirements.

Learning objectives:

• Know the common shield types.
• Learn how to specify protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Understand shielding and terminations in variable frequency drive (VFD) applications.
• Consider shielding requirements for data communication.
• Learn the function of shielding in transmission and distribution substations.
• Review shielding options in renewable energy applications.
