Concur with Dave. I've debugged screen rooms
and emi problems: they can be subtle. Screening
just the gap can be tried, i'd expect more
needed to be done. Two things: once the 'noise'
is on any wire, it will easily be conducted
on that wire 'thru' the screen. Serious
designs have emi filters at/in the 'wall'.
Also: if an emi filter is NOT in a 'wall'
the noise can radiate 'around' the filter.
When dealing with room size cages, 'sealing'
edges of 'doors' becomes challenging: lots
of finger stock.
I refer here to EMI effects, thats what was
asked about. Caging to catch
arcs/sparks/streamers has different needs, tho
one design can meet both if done carefully.
