(Electromagnetic
Compatibility) When powered up, all electrical equipment produces electromagnetic fields.
These can cause adjacent pieces of electrical equipment to interact with one
another, and this can degrade their performance. By following the EMC guide-
lines in this handbook, you can minimize these effects by ensuring optimum
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) between equipment.
