Selecting the right EMC filter is essential for reducing conducted emissions and ensuring compliance with EMC standards. Here’s how to choose and install one effectively:
1. Filter Selection Criteria:
- Voltage System Compatibility: Match the filter to your system’s voltage and phase (e.g. single-phase or three-phase).
- Load Requirements: Choose a filter rated for the current draw of your equipment.
- Application-Specific Considerations:
- Take into account:
- Electrical class
- Physical dimensions
- Leakage current limits
- Environmental and safety approvals (e.g. UL, CE)
Selecting the appropriate filter ensures both compliance and optimal device performance.
