Conducted interference refers to the unwanted transfer of electrical energy through conductive materials, such as wires or circuits. This phenomenon can disrupt the normal operation of electronic devices by introducing noise or unwanted signals, which can lead to malfunctions or degraded performance. Common sources of conducted interference include power lines, motors, and switching power supplies. To mitigate its effects, engineers often use filters, shielding, and proper grounding techniques to ensure that electronic systems operate reliably and efficiently in their intended environments.
