I Can’t Believe I Just Cooked My Pinna

 

In the previous post, I was discussing cellphone RF safety and the fact that we really don’t know what level is safe and what’s not. Those individuals that go around with a cell phone or Bluetooth device glued to the side of their head will be happy to know that the FDA and the FCC are concerned about cell phones cooking their outer ear (the pinna). They have apparently … [Read more...]

If the Mains Lead Positive and Negative are Balanced to 'Ground,' Does this Reduce CM Noise?

 

Editor’s note: This question was asked in response to Interference Technology’s recent webinar by Keith Armstrong. To view the webinar, click here. Question: If the mains lead positive and negative are balanced to 'ground' does this reduce CM noise? I assume ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ mean live and neutral, or Phase 1 and Phase 2 in the case that the neutral is a centre-tap in … [Read more...]
