EMC related issues for power electronics

Various issues related to the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the automotive electronic system are discussed. As a case study, experiments performed to demonstrate the importance of proper wire harness routing and configuration to avoid ignition noise coupling to the vehicle´s entertainment system are also reported. Definitions for five major requirements of EMC assurance are discussed. These five requirements, which cover both susceptibility (or immunity) and emission issues, are: radiated susceptibility, radiated emissions, conducted susceptibility, conducted emissions, and electrostatic discharge
