This project conducs an innovative approach to prevent Electromagnetic Interference and Electrostatic discharge affecting the Auxiliary Process Safety Cabinet (APC-S) in the South Korean Nuclear Power Plant 3 and 4, also known as Shin Kori 3 &4. The Auxiliary Process Safety Cabinet consists of the Acromag Signal Conditioners and is required to function and maintain structural integrity before, during and after all tests. By designing a metal enclosure for the Acromag signal conditioner modules it was proven that they passed Electrostatic Discharge testing. This was proven by conducting both software analysis and testing on aluminum and stainless steel enclosures.
