£2million emc test facility to be launched in Dorset

Test group TRaC is spending £2million to create a new emc and environmental test facility in Dorset. The site, set to open in September, will be a UK centre of excellence for all aspects of emc testing for the aerospace and defence industries.

TRaC South will offer a range of test facilities, including: three emc chambers capable of testing to a broad range of military/aerospace standards; two CISPR 16-1-4 compliant chambers for commercial testing; and a further chamber dedicated to transient testing. An electromagnetic shaker table with a 2tonne load capability will also be installed.
