EMI Filter Perfromance: the following example illustrates the X2Y® Value Proposition of improved performance, component reduction and cost savings in an automotive application. The graph below shows measured radiated emissions for a DC motor when various EMI filters are applied.
Radiated Emissions for a DC Motor
The following filters were used:
The filters shown in figures 2a-c failed to pass stringent automotive EMC specifications. The figure 2d plot demonstrates the performance of the single X2Y component solution, which allowed the DC motor to pass the required EMC specifications.
EMI Filter Savings: Companies have realized cost savings ranging from $0.15 to over $1.00 for EMI filtering, depending on the amount of filter components replaced by a single X2Y® capacitor. Analysts state there are nearly 1.25 billion DC motors used annually by the automotive industry, making the potential system savings to the automotive industry supply chain in the millions of dollars.
