High Quality Emi Suppression Filters From VIIP Filter

I. Impact of Magnetic Ring Material on EMC Performance


Permeability and EMC Performance The permeability of the magnetic ring material is a critical parameter in measuring its interference suppression capability. A higher permeability indicates a stronger ability to suppress interference. Therefore, selecting a magnetic ring material with high permeability can enhance the EMC performance of equipment.
Frequency Characteristics and EMC Performance Different interference frequencies require different magnetic ring materials for suppression. Low-frequency interference can use materials with lower frequency characteristics, such as ferrites; while high-frequency interference requires materials with higher frequency characteristics, like nickel-zinc ferrites and nickel ferrites.
Temperature Coefficient and EMC Performance The permeability of certain magnetic ring materials may vary with temperature changes, which could negatively impact the EMC performance of equipment. Therefore, when selecting magnetic ring materials, consideration should be given to their temperature coefficient to ensure stable EMC performance within the operating temperature range

II. Selecting the Right Magnetic Ring Material For different EMC issues and system requirements, the selection of appropriate magnetic ring materials is essential. Firstly, choose a material with suitable permeability and frequency characteristics based on the interference sources and frequency range of the equipment. Secondly, consider the material's temperature coefficient, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and other physical and chemical properties to ensure stable operation in specific environments and working conditions. Finally, through actual testing and validation, choose the most suitable magnetic ring material to enhance the EMC performance of equipment.

III. Conclusion In the design and manufacturing of electronic devices, selecting the right magnetic ring material is crucial for improving EMC performance. By understanding the characteristics of different magnetic ring materials and choosing materials with appropriate permeability and frequency characteristics according to actual needs, electromagnetic interference can be effectively suppressed, enhancing the EMC performance of equipment. Additionally, considerations for temperature coefficient, mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and other factors are necessary to ensure stable operation in complex environmental conditions.

Power filters are essential components in electronic devices, with the main function of filtering the input power signal to remove noise and other interference, providing a stable and smooth direct current or alternating current voltage to ensure the normal operation of electronic devices. Power filters are widely used in electronic products, especially in high-end electronic products that require signal stability, reliability, and safety.

In addition to the main functions and roles mentioned above, power filters can also serve the following purposes:


Filter out high-frequency noise in the input power, reduce interference to the system, and minimize electromagnetic radiation.
Prevent transient changes in the power supply circuit to avoid impacting the system.
Avoid sudden surges in the power line to enhance system reliability and stability.

So, how can the performance of power filters be tested?


Leakage Current

Leakage current refers to the current flowing between the phase line, neutral line, and the filter casing (ground line) under a voltage of 250VAC. It primarily depends on the value of the ground capacitor (common mode capacitor). A larger common mode capacitor CY can improve insertion loss but may result in higher leakage current.


Withstand Voltage

To ensure the performance of the power filter, as well as the safety of equipment and personnel, withstand voltage testing must be conducted. Withstand voltage testing is performed under extreme operating conditions. If the withstand voltage performance of the CX capacitor is poor, it may break down when peak surge voltage occurs. While its breakdown may not endanger personal safety, it can cause the filter to lose functionality or performance.


Performance Evaluation

When using EMI power filters, the most important considerations are the rated voltage and current values, withstand voltage performance, and leakage current. The primary performance evaluation of a filter is its insertion loss performance.

The ability of an EMI power filter to suppress interference noise is measured using Insertion Loss (I.L.). Insertion loss is defined as the ratio of the power P1 transmitted from the noise source to the load without the filter connected to the power P2 transmitted from the noise source to the load with the filter connected, expressed in decibels (dB).

Design of an Automatic Insertion Loss Testing System for EMI Filters

As EMC testing becomes more complex and the workload increases, the requirements for testing equipment in terms of functionality, performance, testing speed, and accuracy are also rising. Traditional manual testing is increasingly unable to meet these requirements. National standards (GB) and national military standards (GJB) both require EMC testing to be automated, with strict requirements for data post-processing. Therefore, the development of EMC automatic testing has become essential. The automatic testing system established in this article utilizes virtual instrument technology and is based on a signal source and spectrum analyzer to test the insertion loss of EMI power filters.

At VIIP Filter, we recently had the opportunity to assist a customer with their vending machine project, helping them to achieve UL certification. This case study showcases our efforts in providing EMI power filters and technical expertise to overcome EMC issues and successfully pass laboratory testing.

Project Description:

The vending machine initially faced challenges in passing UL certification due to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues. Our engineering team intervened by implementing various solutions to address the problem and ensure compliance with industry standards.

First Attempt: Installing VIIP Filter EMI Power Filters

In the first attempt to mitigate the EMC issues, we installed four of our 20A single-phase filters in the vending machine. Despite this intervention, the certification was still not achieved, prompting us to explore additional solutions.

Second Attempt: Adding Ferrite Core Rings

To further improve EMC performance, our engineer onsite added two ferrite core rings (magnetic toroids) to the vending machine. While this adjustment helped reduce margin issues, there was still a small residual offset that needed to be addressed.

Upgraded Filters and Ferrite Rings

Following the feedback from the laboratory testing, our engineering team decided to upgrade the previous single-phase filters and reintroduce the ferrite rings. With these improvements in place, the vending machine underwent EMC tests once again, and this time, it successfully passed the certification requirements.

The Role of VIIP Filter EMI Power Filters:

VIIP Filter's EMI power filters played a crucial role in improving the vending machine's EMC performance. By providing reliable filtering solutions, we helped our customer enhance the machine's electromagnetic compatibility, ensuring compliance with UL certification standards.
