Solution to
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Problems
Using their electric equipment people create
electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields either intentionally as in case
of radio or television broadcast and mobile phone network or as a
side-effect e.g. in case of power lines, transformers or electric motors.
Electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields created for different reasons
influence the operation of the electric equipment, can cause interferences,
mysterious troubles, in special cases even the total collapse of complex sensitive IT systems.
Usually it is possible to eliminate disturbances in a
finished building, but it is significantly cheaper to consider possible EMC
aspects when the building is being planned, or when the real estate for the
building is being selected.
In order to prevent or to solve these electromagnetic
compatibility problems (EMC ) SHOCK Ltd. offers the
following services:
For buildings and
industrial plants under planning
Measuring Electromagnetic Fields -
Biological Effects
Solution to Electrostatic Problems
While in everyday life electrostatic charging causes
insignificant difficulties only, in certain industries and in IT systems it can
cause serious damages. SHOCK Ltd. offers the following services in the field of
electrostatic problems:
Decreasing Harmful
Effects
Cleaning dusty surfaces, decreasing static forces
attracting and repelling of sheet or thread materials, avoiding sparking.
Protection of
Controlling flooring and other covering, furniture,
recommendations for antistatic materials and/or eliminators decreasing
electrostatic charges if necessary
Decreasing Danger of Fires and Explosions
Antistatic Zones - ESD Protection
Quality
control of electronic production lines requires antistatic zones providing
complex protection of electronics against the damaging effect of electrostatic
discharges (ESD). Antistatic zones include antistatic flooring, antistatic
furniture, high voltage ionizators, protection of staff against electrostatic charging, entering
and the system of rules for the zone. SHOCK Ltd. creates antistatic
zones for the existing production lines carefully with costs applying for the
available equipment.
ESD Protection Audit
Control
and reconstruction of ESD protection systems in order to fulfill European (EU),
international (IEC) and competent national (e.g. BS, DIN, MSZ) standards
Lightning and Overvoltage
Protection
It
is well known that direct lightnings can cause
serious damages, fires, explosions. In case of sensitive electronic equipment,
IT systems the indirect effects of lightnings have to
be taken into consideration, too. Overvoltages caused
by the direct lightning strokes into power or communication lines and antennas,
or overvoltages in the electrical circuits induced by
a lightning in the surroundings can damage electronics rather far from the
striking point of the lightning. The probability of all these damages can be
reduced to an acceptable level if a professional lightning protection
system has been designed and constructed and is operated properly.
SHOCK Ltd. offers the following services in the
fields of lightning and overvoltage protection:
Designing
primary lightning protection system (protecting from direct stroke of
lightning) for public buildings, industrial projects, monuments, or houses
built on places exposed to lightnings
Design of Secondary Lightning Protection
Designing secondary lightning protection system
(protecting from the indirect effects of lightnings)
for public buildings, industrial projects, monuments or houses built on
places exposed to lightnings on the basis of
cost-benefit analysis, considering the value of the protected electronic
equipment
Control and reconstruction of existing primary and
secondary lightning protection systems in order to fulfill European (EU),
international (IEC) and competent national (BS, DIN, MSZ) standards
Expert’s Opinion for Insurance Companies
It
is hard to recognize the indirect damages caused by lightning. In disputed
cases our experts examine if the damage could be caused by lightning, and on
the data of Lightning Location System they determine whether there were lightnings in the surroundings when the damage occurred.
Control of Electric Reconstruction
of Public Buildings
The
electric network of many historic public buildings is old-fashioned, overloaded
and not suitable to supply the modern power network, IT and building management
systems. It is essential to ensure safe and high quality power supply of these
important buildings (government offices, banks, company headquarters, etc.).
Services offered by SHOCK Ltd.:
SHOCK
Ltd. elaborates the system of safe and high quality energy supply, the
principle scheme of the electric network. Our experts survey the consumers`
requirements on the power system concerning the services, the needs of the IT
system and the building management. The conception for the electric
reconstruction includes the main safety requirements (fire prevention, security
problems, lightning and overvoltage protection,
protection against electric, magnetic and electromagnetic disturbances, data
protection, etc.) and recommendations for data collection and storage (both
hardware and software problems). The steps and schedule of the construction and
reconstruction is planned based upon their function and importance. SHOCK Ltd.
develops solutions for archiving and managing the documentation of the built
electrical system.
Controlling Electric Reconstructions
SHOCK Ltd. experts coordinate the electric
reconstruction work according to the elaborated conception, help in choosing
the designers and the contractors, express their opinion on the plans and take
part in preparing the operation and maintenance regulations.
Electrostatic Precipitation
SHOCK
Ltd. is prepared to design electrostatic precipitators (ESPs),
to control and to optimize the operation of electrostatic precipitators from
the point of view of efficiency and power consumption.
