Electromagnetic effect :
• Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
• High Intensity Radiated Frequency (HIRF)

(EMI)
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) also called radio frequency
interference (RFI) is a (usually undesirable) disturbance that
affects an electrical circuit due to electromagnetic radiation
emitted from an external source
(EMI)
Conduction: Energy is transmitted through electrically conductive
paths such as wiring or aircraft metallic structure.
Radiation: Energy is transmitted through non-conductive path such as
air, plastic material or fiber glasss
Example: If you have a wireless receiver of any kind and use it at the
same time as you operate your personal computer, you will probably
hear RF noise in the receiver that originates in the PC system.
(EMI)
EMC problems can occur when the system which is being adversely
affected is subject to a high field strength due to a radio transmitter.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

(EMC)
If the threshold level is low, the device is easily effected by the EMI.
If the threshold level is high, the device is not easily effected by the
EMI and are said to be electromagnetically compatible.

Shielding
Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology
Shielding assist in
eliminating EMI by
• Protecting the primary conductor with
an outer conductor - by grounding both
ends of the shield.
• The braided shield carry effecting any
induced EMI directs to ground thus
preventing system inaccuracies or
failure
Maintenance Practices

Beneath the cloud, a "shadow" positive charge is created on the ground and, as
the charge builds, eventually a circuit is created and discharges takes place
between the cloud and the ground, or between the cloud and another cloud
An aircraft passing close to an area of charge can initiate a discharge and this
may occur some distance from a thunderstorm
