Successfully Performing Field Calibration

Overview

Learn how to perform a successful IEC 61000-4-3 field calibration, utilizing either a constant field or constant power method. We will cover the basic requirements of the field calibration, how to perform one, the equipment utilized, and mitigation tactics when things go awry.
