Understanding EMI Shielding: Key Concepts and Importance in Design

  Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is a ubiquitous challenge in the world of electronic design, capable of compromising the functionality and reliability of electronic devices. In this article, we delve into the essential concepts of EMI shielding and explore why it is a crucial consideration for ensuring the success of your design. The Basics of EMI Shielding Defining EMI Shielding: EMI shielding involves the use of materials and techniques to block or limit electromagnetic radiation from interfering with electronic devices. The goal is to create an environment where electronic components can operate without disruptions caused by external electromagnetic fields. Sources of EMI: EMI can emanate from a variety of sources, including other electronic devices, power lines, radio frequency signals, and even natural phenomena. Left unaddressed, EMI can lead to signal degradation, malfunctions, and a decrease in overall performance. Why EMI Shielding Matters in Design Signal Integrity: ...

DELTA vs WYE: Three Phase EMI Filters

  Industrial applications predominantly require a high power supply to support high-power equipment (such as induction circuits, inverters, and heating systems). Therefore, high power equipment is generally designed for 3-phase (or poly-phase) AC power. The 3-phase AC power plays a crucial role in the electrical system design as it splits the total power into various phases, and thus optimizes the power system (both generation and distribution) and equipment design.  3-Phase System  It consists of three current-carrying conductors (or phases). All three phases (A, B, and C) are set at the same voltage and frequency and phase-shifted from each other by an angle of 120°. It helps to transfer constant power during the electrical cycle. There are two configurations of 3-phase systems, namely Delta and WYE configurations which maintain equal loads.  3-Phase EMI Filter High power conversion (such as rectifying) generates higher-order harmonics of different switching frequ...
