Connect self inductances to a suppression circuit. Self-
inductance in relays and fans etc. produces disturbance
voltages that are far higher than the operating voltage.
These disturbance voltages can influence electronic
devices. The disturbance voltages cause by inductors
must be limited at the emission source by connecting
suppression circuits (diode or RC circuit). Only use
suppressors that are intended for use with your relay or
fan.
Switching cubicle illumination
Use light bulbs for the switching cubicle illumination, e.g.
LINESTRA lamps. Avoid the use of luminescent lamps
because these produce noise fields. If you cannot avoid
using luminescent lamps, the measures described in
Figure 5-1 will be necessary.
5.1 Installation
5.1.1 Installation instructions
Electromagnetic compatibility
Electromagnetic compatibility involves all questions regarding electric, magnetic and
electromagnetic emission effects. To avoid disturbing influences on electrical installations,
these effects must be reduced to a minimum. The construction of device, correct connection
of bus lines and the suppression of self inductances are essential limitation measures. See
also the note in section 4.2.1 (protecting against lightni
ng strikes).

Arrangement of devices and cables
Maintaining clearance to reduce noise
A both simple and effective way of reducing disturbing influences is to maintain clearances
between the culprit and victim device or cable. Inductive and capacitive disturbances
decrease with the square of the distance between the elements involved. This means that
doubling the distance reduces the effect of the disturbance by a factor 4. If placement
considerations are taken into account in the planning of a building or a cubicle, these
measures can usually be implemented very cheaply.
