Why do EMI filters that require higher dB losses at very low frequencies demand larger parts and more volume?

This EMI Design Seminar covers the subject above and basic concept of EMI filter design. The seminar has been completely revised with latest cores; the various filter types covering the advantages and disadvantages of each topology; and how to calculate the component values for these filters. It also discusses the proper procedures that should be handled up front to save both time and cost. Three phase filters are covered. Load and source impedances are handled. The design of these components values follows. All of this information is for both differential and common mode applications.

This seminar discusses the required high frequency losses and how to extend the frequency response of the lower frequency components to add to this loss. The filter enclosures are also discussed, such as the best aspect ratios for these cases to avoid some common filter problems. This covers component layout such as inductor quadrature. At the end of the day, each attendee will design a filter and the designs will be discussed.

Who Should Attend:

• Power Supply Designers
• System Engineers
• Magnetic Engineers
• EMI Designers
• Electrical or Electronic Engineers

About the Instructor

Richard Lee (Oz) Ozenbaugh is a consultant in Checotah, Okla., specializing in Magnetics and EMI filters. He’s currently consulting for Linear Magnetics Corp., Parker Aerospace, Wattsup meters Corp. Respironics, and several others. Previously, he was an EMI design engineer for Hopkins Engineering in San Fernando, Calif., senior filter design engineer for RFI in Long Island, N.Y., and regional engineering manager for Powertronix in Foster City, Calif. Ozenbaugh has more than 30 years of experience in the field. He received the AA degree in mathematics from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, with further studies at UCLA under Dr. Valentine and the E.E. degree from Capitol Radio Engineering Institute in Washington D.C.

These result-oriented workshops focus on basics of power inductors and transformers.

If better understanding of electromagnetic principles in easy to understand lingo would help you in your job function, if you want to refresh the basic theory of magnetic coils or if you are new to the field, then Power Inductors & Transformers – Electromagnetic Principles & Basic Magnetic Theory of Operations is for you. Whether you are producing magnetic coils in your own facility or outsourcing it and, if you are looking for consistently high quality coils and continuous improvement in the quality, then attend Power Inductors & Transformers – Testing, Quality Control & Continuous Improvement.  After brief review of the basics, it will take you in to ‘what’ and ‘why’ of the test parameters and, how to test them. You will learn a systematic methodology to analyze defect, find root cause and develop corrective actions.  Quality audit and incoming quality control will be discussed.

Bring your current challenges and issues, and return with solutions.
