Product: Fitness Equipment
Standard: EN 55032
Issue: Conducted emissions (Average values above limit below 1 MHz)
Initial Findings
Root Cause:
Noise was coupling onto the ground line and radiating back into the measurement.
The Solution
Extended the ground cable and added a Mn-Zn ferrite core (VMETG-025015015-100):
| Configuration | Result |
|---|---|
| Mn-Zn, 4 turns | ✅ Pass with margin |
| Other ferrite types | Suboptimal |
| Fewer turns | Insufficient attenuation |
Final fix: Mn-Zn ferrite, 4 turns on extended ground line.
