Influence of inverter output cable and filters on conducted emission

Fast switching of PWM-inverters cause a lot of electromagnetic interference (EMI). To lower the dv/dt, output filters are available. In this paper, the influence of the cable and the output filters on conducted emission is investigated. By combining impedance measurements and EMI-measurements particular dips in the spectrum can be explained.
