Electromagnetic conducted interference has two components as differential mode and common mode A. Differential mode conducted interference This mode is related to the noise that is i
11、mposed between different lines of a test circuit by a noise source. Related current path is shown in Fig. 1 . The interference source, path impedances, differential mode current and load impedance are also shown in Fig. 1. B. Common mode conducted interference Common mode noise or interference could
12、 appear and impose between the lines, cables or connections and common ground. Any leakage current between load and common ground could be modeled by interference voltage source. Fig. 2 demonstrates the common mode interference source, common mode currents Icm1 and Icm2 and the related current paths

On the other side some residential, commercial and especially medical consumers are so sensitive to power system disturbances including voltage and frequency variations. The best solution to r
16、educe corruption and improve power quality is complying national or international EMC regulations. CISPR, IEC, FCC and VDE are among the most famous organizations from Europe, USA and Germany who are responsible for determining and publishing the most important EMC regulations. IEC and VDE requireme

Class A for common consumers and class B with more hard limitations for special consumers are separated in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Frequency range
18、of limitation is different for IEC and VDE that are 150 kHz up to 30 MHz and 10 kHz up to 30 MHz respectively. Compliance of regulations is evaluated by comparison of measured or calculated conducted interference level in the mentioned frequency range with the stated requirements in regulations. In
19、united European community compliance of regulation is mandatory and products must have certified label to show covering of requirements IV. ELECTROMAGNETIC CONDUCTED INTERFERENCE MEASUREMENT A.

Variation of LISN impedance versus frequency with the mentioned topology is presented in Fig. 7. LISN has stabilized impedance in the range of co
21、nducted EMI measurement Variation of level of signal at the output of LISN versus frequency is the spectrum of interference. The electromagnetic compatibility of a system can be evaluated by comparison of its interference spectrum with the standard limitations. The level of signal at the output of L
22、ISN in frequency range 10 kHz up to 30 MHz or 150 kHz up to 30 MHz is criterion of compatibility and should be under the standard limitations. In practical situations, the LISN output is connected to a spectrum analyzer and interference measurement is carried out. But for modeling and simulation pur
