Committee International Spécial Perturbations Radio Standard (CISPR)

It is also called as International Special Committee on Radio

Interference. Established in 1934 for controlling EMI. A standard
intended as a guide to aid the manufacturer, the user, and others who are
likely to be affected. As a practical measure to ensure electromagnetic
compatibility, a variety of equipment design and performance standards
have evolved and been published by different agencies from time to time.
These standards aim to set reasonable and rational limits for
electromagnetic emission levels by different equipment, as well as
immunity levels for such equipment.

CISPR's principal task is preparing standards that offer protection of radio

reception from interference sources such as
 Electrical appliances of all types,
 The electricity supply system,
 Industrial, Scientific and electro medical RF
 Broadcasting receivers (sound and TV)
 IT Equipment (ITE)

Filtering is an important mitigation technique for suppressing undesired

conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI). When a system
incorporates shielding, undesired coupling caused by radiated EMI is
reduced. Conducted EMI currents in the power supply lines and signal
input/output lines are filtered out at the entrance to the shielding facility

Power Line Filter Design

 There are several basic differences between a power line filter and
a communication circuit filter.
 The input impedance of a power line filter almost never achieves an
impedance match with the impedance of its associated power line
because of load changing.
 For this reason, interference level at the filter output increases,
instead of being suppressed. On the other hand, a transmitter
harmonic filter is generally designed to provide an impedance match
to the transmitter output over the fundamental frequency range.
 Another basic difference between power line filters and
communication filters is that power line filters are strongly biased
by the power line current.
 The interferences appearing in power lines have two components:
common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM).

Common-Mode Filter :

• Normally, a common-mode filter is designed with a high source

impedance and a low load impedance by using an LC filter with
capacitance on the load side and inductor on the source side
 • To increase the attenuation and to realize a steep skirt response,
several LC stages may be cascaded.
• Capacitors Cy in Figure 10-18 bypass the common-mode current to
ground.
• Capacitors Cx in Figure 10-18 bypass the phase-to-neutral currents,
and prevent them from reaching the load.

Differential-Mode Filter:

• A differential-mode filter is designed with a capacitance on the load

side and inductor on the source side as shown in Figure 10-19.
• Inductors produce attenuation to differential mode interferences,
and the shunt capacitor Cx bypasses these interferences and
prevents them from reaching the load.
