Significance of EMC tests for Construction Equipment Vehicles

Requirement for Construction Equipment Vehicles (CEVs) in India is continuously growing as India being fastest growing country in the world in terms of Infrastructure. The technology in the automotive industry is evolving rapidly in recent times. Thus, with the development of new technologies, the challenges are also ever-increasing from an Electromagnetic Interference, Susceptibility (EMI/EMC) and Safety perspective. EMC and Safety requirements of CEVs are internationally governed by ISO 13766-1, 2. This paper provides importance of each test specified in standard. EMC and Safety are perspective come hand in hand and hence it is important to understand significance of each test. All CEVs work with heavy weights and lot of personals were working around it. Any malfunction of electrical and electronics system will lead to an accident. There are some additional tests included in ISO 13766-1,2 but those are not applicable to automotive vehicle. This paper will include it's know how with practical case study. Considering CMVR requirement in India, AIS 160 (for Diesel Engine CEVs) & AIS 174 (for Electric Power Train CEVs) is already notified and above research will certainly help OEMs to mitigate their EMC problems at early stage and will smoothen their development cycle.
