Conducted EMI in Inverters with SiC Transistors

Conducted EMI in Inverters with SiC Transistors Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is the main side effect accompanied with the fast voltage and current switching transients in power electronics applications. Compliance of the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) standard is prescribed for any power electronics product before entering the market....

Common-mode DC-bus filter design for variable-speed drive system via transfer ratio measurements

Filters used in electromagnetic interference suppression are often described in literature on drive systems and have become a standard solution in industry. The effect of the commercial off-the-shelf filter depends significantly on how it is installed. A model that includes the installation parameters is made first and then the parameters of the...

Reduction of Conducted Interference by Steel Armor in Buried Cables: Measurements and Modeling

Switched-mode power supplies in variable-frequency drives often combine good electrical efficiency with generous production of conducted emission. The common-mode (CM) current through the output-to-motor cablemay perturb nearby systems via cable-to-cable crosstalk. Parameters relevant for the coupling are the rise–fall times and amplitude of the...

Design of electromagnetically compatible electronics

EMC is a channel capacity problem, where with the help of adaptation the signal coding and signal processing and reduction of unintentional coupling, the chance of corruption of the transferred signal information is minimized. For the topology of an electronic circuit this implies that with the help of filtering, reduction of peak detection and...
