7.1 Power Quality & Backup
- Clean Power: Specifications for power conditioning to prevent "noise" on SMT lines (which can cause placement errors).
- The UPS Strategy: Protocols for Uninterruptible Power Supplies. Which machines get backup? (e.g., Reflow ovens must keep the belt moving during a blackout to prevent boards from burning inside).
- Grounding Architecture: Establishing the "Single Point Ground" to prevent ground loops that interfere with testing equipment.
