GROUNDING AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
GEMI
Steel Conduit reduces electro-
magnetic fields by up to 95%,
effectively shielding computers
and sensitive electronic equip-
ment from the electromagnetic
interference (EMI) caused by
power distribution systems.
Steel conduit is also an
excellent equipment grounding
conductor and complies with the
requirements of NEC 250.
Two research studies conducted
by Georgia Tech prove it. These
research studies, and the analysis
software that was developed
from the studies, are available,
free, to qualified users.
The software will help you with
issues involving:
EMI in your electrical
distribution systems
selection of the most
effective conduit for
reducing EMI in your system
the design of distribution
feeder and branch circuits for
safety and economics
equipment grounding
the analysis of existing circuits

reports, our new installation

GROUNDING AND ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE In addition to EMI shielding and
proven equipment grounding
characteristics, steel conduit
provides your best long-term
system protection, gives you
life-cycle cost advantages and
is completely recyclable. Here
are some of the advantages of
steel conduit:
Low life-cycle costs
EMI shielding
Physical protection
of conductors
Proven grounding
capabilities
Chemically compatible
with concrete
Coefficient of expansion
compatible with common
building materials
Non-combustible
Recyclable
Impact resistant high
tensile strength
Adaptable to future wiring changes
