Electronic devices play a vital role in nearly every industry, from hospitals, to industrial manufacturing, to the military. Specific devices rely on uninterrupted and dependable electricity to operate correctly. However, as more and more electronic devices enter the market, they create electromagnetic interference that can cause these devices to malfunction, crash or fail. To protect electronic devices and systems from damage, EMI Filters block adverse inferences and allow a steady flow of power. Here, we'll take an in-depth look at EMI fundamentals, EMI filter applications and the consequences of EMI across various sectors.

There are two main types of EMI — conducted EMI and radiated EMI. Conducted EMI goes through conductors, such as wires or power lines, while radiated EMI travels through the air and does not require a conductor. Both conducted and radiated EMI can impact the performance of electronic devices through impairment, degradation, malfunctioning or system failure.
