Power electronics converters play a pivotal role in modern electrical systems, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. However, the operation of these converters can generate electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can adversely affect the performance of nearby electronic devices and compromise the integrity of the system. This presentation explores the sources and mechanisms of EMI in power electronics converters, focusing on the key contributors such as switching devices, highfrequency harmonics, and circuit layouts. We will also discuss the various methods and techniques for mitigating EMI. Additionally, we will review the importance of
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards and how they guide the design of power converters to minimize EMI.
