Shielded chamber, Meine
The shielded chamber in Meine complements the fully anechoic chamber with a separate test environment for development-stage investigations, diagnostics and the verification of optimisation measures.
- Service
- Complementary shielded test environment
- Location
- Meine, Lower Saxony
- AC supply
- single-phase, up to 16 A
Technical data sheet
Our two test environments together form the EMC capability portfolio of EMC Labs. The appropriate environment and test setup depend on the test method, device under test, supply requirements, setup and engineering question.
This page describes the equipment in Meine. The shared capability portfolio is set out under Two test environments, one capability portfolio.
- AC supply
- single-phase, up to 16 A
- DC supply
- up to 60 V, 10 A
We agree the test scope and the depth of assessment per project. If a question is a better fit for the other site, we say so – see Fully anechoic chamber, Harbke.

Typical use cases
- Locating interference sources on the board or a cable instead of swapping parts on suspicion
- Observing and documenting how the device behaves under transient disturbances
- Measuring the effect of filter, shielding and grounding changes straight away
- Preparing the setup and operating states for a later external test
Limits of the equipment
- The supply is limited to DC 0–60 V / 10 A and single-phase AC 16 A.
- We do not state blanket figures for the internal dimensions, device size or frequency range – these are clarified per project.
- We measure at the pre-compliance stage. These are not accredited tests.
How a measurement day runs
Four steps, repeated as often as the development work needs. You are welcome to be there all day.
- 1
Arrive and set up
You bring the device, its peripherals and its power supply. We set up together and record the setup with photos, so the measurement stays traceable later on.
- 2
First measurement
We measure the agreed scope and place the values against the relevant limits. You watch the curves as they appear.
- 3
Narrow it down
If something stands out, we change the setup deliberately: reroute a cable, insert a filter, add shielding. That turns a measured value into a cause.
- 4
Re-measure
We re-measure the effect of a change under the same conditions. You leave with documented values and concrete next steps.
What to bring
- The device with its peripherals, loads and counterparts
- The power supply as it looks in actual use
- The operating states you want measured
- Any anomalies you know of and existing measurement reports
The checklist sets this out in detail: Preparing your device for an EMC measurement.
Getting here and delivery
- By car
- The B 4 runs through Meine. It is about 7 km north of the Braunschweig-Nord interchange (A 2 / A 391); Braunschweig, Gifhorn and Wolfsburg are each roughly 10 km away.
- Parking
- We have our own parking spaces on site.
- By train
- The Meine stop is on the Braunschweig–Uelzen line and is served hourly by the RB 47.
- Before you arrive
- Please give us a quick call so someone is waiting for you at the test bench.

Frequently asked questions about Meine
- Can I be there during the measurement?
- Yes. You are welcome to be there throughout the day and watch the values as they appear. Someone who knows the device can switch operating states directly, which saves time.
- What happens if a measurement stands out?
- We narrow down the cause as far as the setup allows: scan the near field, reroute cables, try measures out and re-measure their effect.
- Do I get an accredited test report?
- No. Our measurements are pre-compliance and not accredited. They serve to spot anomalies early and to verify measures before a possible external test.
- What power supply is available?
- DC up to 60 V and 10 A, single-phase AC up to 16 A. If that is not enough for your device, we clarify beforehand whether the measurement is better placed in Harbke.
