Topics   & Abstracts

Talk 1: Electric Vehicle Powertrain: Challenges for EMC – HV EMC filter for compliance of Electric Vehicles:
Noise currents in High-Voltage Power Trains of Electric Vehicles place significant strain on the EMC filters used to mitigate conducted and radiated emissions. Filtering targets for high level emissions must be achieved. The power dissipation caused by the resistive properties of the filter components is a key factor in determining the temperature behaviour and lifetime of the filter. Validated numerical EMC computer modelling and robustness evaluations of HV Filters of the Electric Vehicle Power Train are part of the development targets. Principle outlines of the activities to achieve postulated goals are presented. The key take away is a broad view beyond the obvious on the daily challenge of EMC in the automotive High Voltage Vehicle Electrification.

Talk 2: Low Frequency magnetic Fields in EVs with regards to ICNIRP:
Operational currents in High-Voltage Power Trains of Electric Vehicles are of significant magnitude. These high functional currents emit low frequency magnetic fields. The human exposure to high magnetic fields is limited due to health precautions. As a consequence, the analysis of such fields in the automotive context if of high criticality. An overview on

requirements and human protection against magnetic fields in such automotive applications with geometric proximity is provided. Strategies to assure human safety in Electric Vehicles designs are discussed. The key take away is to get a qualified sensitivity on the human protection against magnetic fields originating from high power Power Trains of Electric Vehicles.
