Why needs EMI Filter?

The function of the EMI Filter

The basic function of the AC power filter is to suppress the conducted radiation (namely noise), generated by the power converter from entering the AC power line. Line filters must be designed to suppress conducted emissions to a level low enough to pass regulatory limits. For example, FCC Part 15. Products that do not meet regulatory requirements will not be allowed on the market.

EMI Filter Classification

EMI Filter can be classified as Passive EMI Filter and Active EMI Filter by function. Their similarities and main differences can be summarized as follows.
