About
Trama Engineering runs a dedicated automotive EMC laboratory from Piazza San Paolo in Alba, in the Langhe hills of Cuneo province, opened around 2018 and built from the outset to carmakers' own test specifications rather than to the generic directive set. Its structure is deliberately split into parallel benches so that several test types can run at once instead of queueing on a single chamber: a semi-anechoic shielded room by Albatross Projects for radiated testing on both the enclosure port and the harness port, a separate shielded room for bulk current injection, another shielded room for conducted emissions, a dedicated electrostatic discharge bench, and a pulses bench for transient immunity and conducted transient emission. The laboratory publishes live per-bench utilisation figures on its own site - semi-anechoic room, pulses and BCI each shown separately - which is an unusual degree of booking transparency for a test house. For device-under-test monitoring it provides optical transducers for CAN bus at both low and high speed and for LIN bus, so the communication link into the chamber does not itself perturb the measurement, and it builds custom harnesses, actuators, load simulators and monitoring systems to suit the part under test. Parallel testing with remote management and problem-solving support during the test session are offered as standard, and the fields of application are automotive and CE marking. It publishes no ACCREDIA or ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and is recorded here without an accreditation entry, describing itself instead as fully automotive compliant and working to the standards of leading automotive companies. Specialisations are automotive component EMC to OEM specifications, bulk current injection, parallel multi-bench testing, and CAN and LIN bus instrumentation.
