The design, production, modification or maintenance of equipment always begin with an analysis intended to define the:
- Characteristics of materials and components capable of fulfilling the required function,
- Mechanical and electrical design rules making it possible to fulfill the desired function. Such analysis is carried out taking into account both engineering and economic constraints. From this point of view, it is advisable to bear in mind the importance of ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of an installation right from the start of the design stage.
This is the best guarantee against malfunctions and cost escalation.
Neglecting (EMC) during analysis of a product may produce an immediate cost saving of several percent of the total cost of the plant ((EMC) specialists agree that the extra cost is 3 to 5%).
However, modifications then often have to be made at the time the installation is commissioned. The overall cost of such modifications, given low operating margins, often exceed several or even twenty percent. This causes additional delivery delays as well as problems in customer relations.
