Analysis of a Mn–Zn Ferrite Bundle EMI Suppressor Using Different Suppressing Principles and Configurations

摘要

A novel round cable electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppressor comprising a bundle of Mn–Zn ferrite tubes was realized using different principles of suppressing, such as direct suppressing, inverting/suppressing, transform/inverting suppressing, and transform/short circuited secondary suppressing. Different primary to secondary configurations were realized for each suppressing principle and characterized in the EMI frequency region. The results obtained for different bundle configurations were compared with known commercial round cable ferrite suppressors and the initial bundle configuration made of a half turn wire through the central ferrite tube of the bundle. The results obtained for different principles and configurations were correlated in order to optimize the electromagnetic coupling between primary and secondary circuits. The values such as maximums of impedance $Z_{m}$ , frequency of maximum impedance $F_{m}$ and suppressing range $Delta_{f}$ around $F_{m}$ calculated on 0.707 $Z_{m}$ were defined as the main parameters for each configuration. Certain correlations were noticed between impedance $Z_{m}$ and frequency $F_{m}$ changes. Finally, the realized configurations were considered as devices suitable for EMI suppressing applications.
