Understanding and Mitigating Electromagnetic Interference

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a pervasive and often invisible threat to the safety, reliability, and longevity of critical infrastructure. Generated by sources such as overhead power lines, industrial equipment, and communication systems, EMI can disrupt or damage sensitive electronic components, accelerate corrosion in metallic structures, and even pose a safety risk to personnel. As our world becomes increasingly electrified and interconnected, the need for accurate EMI assessment and mitigation has never been more critical.

At E&S Grounding Solutions, we specialize in providing comprehensive in-field EMI measurement services designed to identify, quantify, and understand the electromagnetic environment surrounding your assets. Our expert team utilizes state-of-the-art instrumentation to capture precise, real-world data, forming the foundation for robust analysis and effective mitigation strategies. This proactive approach to EMI management is essential for safeguarding your critical infrastructure.

Precise, Real-World EMI Data Collection

Our in-field EMI measurement services provide a detailed and accurate picture of the electromagnetic landscape at your site. We deploy advanced spectrum analyzers, near-field probes, and other specialized equipment to measure electromagnetic fields at various distances from the source. This allows us to:

• Characterize the EMI environment: We identify the frequencies, amplitudes, and other characteristics of the electromagnetic fields present.
• Pinpoint EMI sources: We can trace the origin of the interference, whether from power lines, adjacent infrastructure, or other sources.
• Assess the impact on your assets: We determine the level of EMI your equipment and infrastructure are being subjected to.

This data-driven approach removes the guesswork from EMI analysis, providing a solid basis for informed decision-making and targeted mitigation efforts.

Protecting Your Assets from EMI-Related Risks

Our in-field EMI measurement services are essential for a wide range of industries and applications where electromagnetic interference poses a significant risk:

By understanding the specific EMI risks to your industry, we can tailor our services to provide the most effective solutions for your unique needs.

From Measurement to Hyper-Realistic Simulation

The true power of our EMI services lies in the integration of our in-field measurements with the advanced capabilities of CDEGS (Current Distribution, Electromagnetic Fields, Grounding and Soil Structure Analysis) software. By feeding our real-world data into CDEGS, we create hyper-realistic simulations that provide unparalleled insight into complex EMI scenarios.

This powerful combination allows us to:

• Model "what-if" scenarios: We can simulate the impact of changes in the electromagnetic environment, such as the addition of new power lines or equipment.
• Optimize mitigation strategies: We can design and test the effectiveness of various mitigation measures, such as shielding or grounding modifications, before they are implemented in the field.
• Conduct in-depth safety and corrosion analysis: Our simulations provide a detailed understanding of the risks to both personnel and infrastructure.

Human Safety: Step and Touch Voltage Analysis

In environments with high-voltage infrastructure, ensuring the safety of personnel is paramount. Our CDEGS simulations, informed by real-world data, allow us to accurately model and assess step and touch voltage hazards. This enables us to design grounding systems and other safety measures that comply with or exceed industry standards such as IEEE Std. 80, protecting your workforce from the risk of electric shock.

Corrosion Analysis

For pipelines and other buried metallic infrastructure, our integrated approach provides a comprehensive analysis of AC corrosion risks. By modeling the interaction between your assets and the surrounding electromagnetic fields, we can identify areas of high corrosion risk and recommend targeted mitigation strategies to extend the life of your infrastructure and prevent costly failures.
