Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Evaluation of a Prototype Solar-charged Electric Race-car

Résumé du livre

EMC is an indispensable process throughout the design and manufacturing cycle of any electrical and electronic product. Prior to their launch on the market, these must comply and conform to a series of applicable EMC standards and regulations that aim to protect equipment against EMI. This is more than crucial to automotive EMC as it is associated with the operation of the vehicle's modules and hence the functional safety and reliability of the system against unintentional and intentional EM disturbances. This report presents and analyses the results of EMC laboratory measurements, based on CISPR 12 and IEC 61851-21-1, of a prototype solar-charged electric race-car during driving and charging conditions. The structure of the report is as follows: Section 1 outlines fundamental aspects of EMC and EMI applicable to the electric driven vehicles. Section 2 gives a background of the current automotive EMC regulatory procedures and provides information about the maximum allowed limits. Description of the EMC test facility and the instrumentation used during the measurements is provided on Section 3. Section 4 presents the results of the EMC tests in accordance with the standards, complemented by exploratory test methods, while Section 5 concludes on the main findings of the EMC measurement activity of the prototype vehicle.
