This is the lead volume of a nine-volume set dealing with the theory, problems and solutions of electromagnetic incompatibility between solid state power systems and rail transit signaling systems. Specifics of conductive, inductive and radiated interference theory, data, tests and suggested test procedures are described in detail in the remaining volumes of this set. This report includes a listing of suggested test procedures and test reports for the EMI/EMC program.138
