Conducted Emissions
Conducted emissions refer to unwanted electrical signals or noise that travel along power lines or other conductive paths. These emissions can interfere with the normal operation of electronic devices and systems, potentially causing malfunctions or degraded performance. They are typically generated by electrical equipment, such as motors, power supplies, and lighting systems.
To manage conducted emissions, various standards and regulations, like those set by IEC and FCC, are in place to ensure that electronic devices do not emit excessive noise. Manufacturers often implement filtering techniques and design practices to minimize these emissions, promoting better electromagnetic compatibility and overall device reliability.
