Common Device to Simulate Noise

[wuchy143]

Hi All,

I'm trying to re-create some electrical noise to try and cause my device to fail and see how susceptible my 0-30mV signals are. Is there anything in a common office/lab that would be worth trying?

hi,
Do you mean airborne electrical noise or power rail noise.?

airborne. it's used in an industrial environment. An ac motor would be nice but don't have one readily available.

I have used a mains powered hand drill in the past to create lots of airborne for cabinet screen testing.! [ the AC brush type]
