Tutorial

Advances in semiconductor technology drive power electronics to higher efficiencies and compact system designs. This progress comes along with an increasing effort to comply with EMC requirements. With dense placement, electromagnetic coupling between components raises influence on system behavior. Integration as a response to the market demands intensifies the challenges. The design becomes more complex and leads to significantly higher development costs. The EMC in Power Electronics Tutorial is a response to the increasing importance of EMC. It provides an overview on EMC phenomena and introduces methodologies to handle EMC questions. The Tutorial is organized jointly by the European Center for Power Electronics (ECPE) and Fraunhofer IZM Berlin. Please note: The tutorial is a supplement to the EMC Lab Course and intended for the training of young engineers and engineers from neighboring disciplines.
