. In many application areas, electric miniature drives belong to the basic equipment required for technical devices. For electronics designers, the challenge is to take the components of the power electronics, μControllers and sensor systems that are housed together in the smallest of spaces in the controlled electric drive, into consideration in terms of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and to find compromises that are acceptable to the market. The new specialist book by Dr.-Ing. Andreas Wagener is aimed at users and supports them in constructing their end device in an EMC-compliant manner with a controlled miniature drive as a component.

For electronics designers, the challenge is to take the components of the power electronics, μControllers and sensor systems that are housed together in the smallest of spaces in the controlled electric drive, into consideration in terms of the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and to find compromises that are acceptable to the market.

The book by Dr.-Ing. Andreas Wagener first provides a fundamental overview of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and the currently applicable framework conditions for introducing electric miniature drives to the market. In the next step, the effects, coupling paths and test methods for both the emitted interference of the energy conversion as well as for the interference resistance of the sensor systems are discussed. The sources for the various types of interference caused by a motor controller are stated and linked to the associated effects. On this basis, the EMC measures typically taken are then discussed step by step and the measurement result used to examine their effectiveness.
