EMI/EMC Filters for High-Quality & Commercial Appliances

Both home and commercial appliances heavily depend on EMI filter solutions to combat unwanted electrical noise and meet stringent compliance standards. The EMC regulations can vary depending on manufacturing specifications and objectives. To ensure adherence to EMC standards for each appliance, it is highly recommended to work closely with an EMC engineer to understand the necessary criteria and select the appropriate EMI filter. Astrodyne TDI offers a wide range of EMI filter solutions designed to provide efficient EMI suppression for appliances used in both commercial and residential settings.

• Electronic fitness equipment typically requires moderate to high insertion loss levels to ensure compliance with relevant standards.
• Blenders and mixers need different levels of insertion loss to meet relevant limits. This applies to compact and ultra-compact models, quick disconnects, wires, and special connectors.
• Microwave ovens and induction cooktops need medium to high-performance designs to keep the noise levels within acceptable limits.
• Coffee makers and vent hoods must maintain low to medium insertion loss levels to effectively meet the required limits.
• Refrigerators and chillers need medium to high insertion loss levels to meet the required limits and resist water ingress. They utilize metalized film technology for enhanced reliability.
• Heating systems require medium to high insertion loss levels to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
  • Resistant to water ingress
  • Utilizes metalized film technology for enhanced reliability
• Floor cleaning equipment must meet moderate insertion loss levels to align with relevant limits. Additionally, it may require water ingress resistance in certain situations.
• Washer and dryer machines need medium to high insertion loss levels to meet required limits effectively. They should also be resistant to water ingress and use metalized film technology for increased reliability.
• Electronic fitness equipment typically requires moderate to high insertion loss levels to ensure compliance with relevant standards.
• Alternative energy equipment requires medium to high insertion loss filters to comply with EMI standards. It is recommended to use single, dual, and multi-stage filters in addition to selectable line-ground capacitors (0-2000nF Y-capacitors).
