Conducted Emission (CE) of switch mode systems

An intuitive explanation of differential mode and commom mode conducted emissions, LISN and input filter configuration.

[@GeorgeDumitra]

this is by far the best tutorial regarding the CE. Good work!

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks for comment.

Outstanding information Prof. Ben-Yaakov, thank you! When I was in Lab Oscilliscopes Engineering at Tektronix (in the days of the wonderful 7000-series) I simply delivered an oscilloscope to our environmental testing engineers who performed these tests and then reported the results to me. I never knew exactly what was happening "under the sheets." Now, thanks to your wonderful channel, I do.

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks for comment and for sharing your experience.

Clear and concise introduction to the subject. Thanks again, Dr. Ben-Yaakov.

[@UpcycleElectronics]

Thank you. This lecture was very helpful. I am researching EMI filters, and preparing to build my first prototype. You answered all of my questions about the topologies I have encountered thus far.
Thanks again,

[@alexanderkushnerov4556]

Hi Shmuel!
This presentation is very useful for anyone, who really wants to monetize his (her) design of the power supply. To my understanding, DM conduction emission can be measured in SPICE simulation (with or without taking the inductance of wires into account). On the contrary, CM emission strongly depends on how the converter is built in practice. Are there regulations regarding the permitted level of CM emission?

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks for the comment. The regulation covers both.

[@placiduzzu]

[@maticnovak2557]

Thank you Sir for this amazing video!
I have 2 questions:
1) To measure only differential (or only common mode) conducted emissions, we set the spectrum analyser to look only at the diference of the signals (or sum for CM)? This option is in the settings?
2) How would you recommend to decrease conductive emissions in a three phase motor bridge that takes high current (100A), that a pi filter can't be used? Changing gate resistors, more capacitors on power supply...

[@sambenyaakov]

1. You mean when using a LISN?
2. Increase of gate resistors does the trick at the expense of additional losses

[@maticnovak2557]

1. Yes. As explained in the video at 11:30 and 15:00.
Thank you for your answer.

[@karastom2304]

Thanks so much Dr Sam you are wonderful
I have question , if I have for example 90uDB at 27Mhz and this for 480vAc 3 phase and this noise in all 3 lines , so this mean it is common mode noise? And if I need this noise to drop to 40uDB.
Can I determine value of cap or its impedance of cap at this frequency ?
Like how much impedance I should have to reach to 40uDB.
Thanks so much

[@sambenyaakov]

THe attenuation is not just due to an added cap (in sparallel) but also a function of the line impedance (low pass filter). So you either rely on circuits inductance or add an inductor to obtain the attenuation you need.

[@swarajpattoth9050]

i would be also interested to see CM and DM analysis on automotive system which uses 12V battery, without fly back.

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks for comment. Will try

[@billimew7496]

A great lecture. I was wondering, how can I select value of each component) and do some simulation in Ltspice.

[@sambenyaakov]

You need to design the filter to attenuate expected emission.

[@user-mj3ef]

Does the conducted emission from the supply manifest itself as Common mode or Differential mode noise at the power supply output?

[@sambenyaakov]

Differential.

Dear Dr. Sam,
This tutorial regarding how to contain CM and DM emissions inside the converter is highly educational. However, can you make a tutorial what methods are available to suppress/minimize these emissions inside the converter. I am asking because, by containing these emissions inside the converter can help the converter passing the regulations. But emissions inside the converter can still reduce the efficiency of the converter.

[@sambenyaakov]

Thanks. There is some mentioning of subject in. czcams.com/video/5NRiLOvmXdA/video.html. Will consider a video on supressing EMI at sources.

Very beneficial lecture, please add some tutorial for how to design a CM and DM filter design , some mathematical equations for it

[@jitendranagda4687]

Hello sir,
Today I have tested my design for Conducted Emission.
Everything is fine but I was getting some noise near 15 Mhz and crossing CISPR15 Limit.
Would you help me regarding this
from where I am getting this noise. Please see below Technical detail regarding converter
Test Input voltage 240 Vac
Converter frequency 65 Khz
Topology QR flyback
Duty Cycle at 240 Vac =30%

[@sambenyaakov]

THis could be due to sharp rise time or parasitic oscillation. To test, try to slow down the switch by increasing the gate resistor.

Hi.. Which components will help for CE and CS. ??
I mean if I get problem due to CE then where I can look for..?
Similarly if I get problem in CS where I can look for.?

[@sambenyaakov]

CE is partially covered in video CS is related to shielding and improper filtering of input

hello
how we can reduce common mode voltage (load is asynchronous machine)???
thanks

[@sambenyaakov]

? please elaborate

[@krysieks]

There are 50uH and 5uH LISNs. What is practical difference? I can see that 5uH at 150kHz is 5R impedance only. So that will be useless, won't be? or i misunderstand that?

[@sambenyaakov]

I wonder. Perhaps the 5u is used for HF range ?

[@krysieks]

@@sambenyaakov What i can see 5uH are usually for DC lines, while 50uH AC mains LISN. But still don't understand that. I'll share that when i find out.
