Abstract
Electrical interference is an unwanted consequence of power electronics apparatus. This issue is addressed by highlighting the main controlling factors and by developing equations that assist in quantifying the severity of the problem. Both themes are directed at power frequency harmonics: they are also applied to electromagnetic interference where, in addition, the techniques for interference suppression are considered, as are the methods by which this phenomenon is measured.
