Seminar Description: This Seminar is a very comprehensive presentation for both engineers wanting to get an overall fundamental understanding of EMC and also for practicing engineers wanting to get an in-depth understanding of design strategies & practical design solutions/fixes for EMI management in Power Electronics Design, including switch mode converters.
While Si switches are used widely today at all power levels, today’s demand for power converters having higher power densities and higher efficiencies, require the need for increased switching frequency and minimizing switching losses – which makes SiC & GaN devices the ideal choice. However, as higher switching speeds of WBG devices conflict with the general rules of EMI management, an in-depth understanding of generation of EMI and its reduction at source during design, is the key to controlling EMI.
This Seminar will begin with a refresh on EMI basics followed by an in-depth treatment of various topics like heat-sink grounding, transformer screens, using ferrite beads, filter design, PCB layout, switching of Si & WBG devices, etc. Many practical EMI reduction techniques, construction methods and examples from three real converter designs shall be presented.
