Why do we need EMC?

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has become a major challenge for equipment and switching power supply designers. As more and more countries apply EMC regulations on products entering their respective markets, EMC compliance of a product has become a major factor defining its acceptance. 


The EMC challenge has two parts:

1. Suppression of interference at the source

2. Making devices or systems immune to EMI


There are three general approaches to suppressing of EMI: 

1. Good screening for radiated EMI

2. Proper earthing

3. Filtering of power an signal lines to reduce conducted EMI
