EMI suppression cores a.k.a. ferrite beads are an efficient way to reduce high frequency interference from wiring. Adding ferrute beads to signal & power wiring is recommended if signal reliability problems are encountered.
Selection
For motor control applications it is recommended to get low to medium frequency ferrite beads for maximum efficiency.
- Preferred choices
- Core material designed for low to medium frequency bands (attenuation between 1-300 MHz)
- Large enough to fit cable multiple rounds through it
- Avoid
- Core material designed for high frequency bands (above 300 MHz)
- Inductor cores - will just add inductance and make things worse
- Iron powder cores
Most ferrite & iron powder cores look same. So if unsure about material properties, its most safe bet to purchase low to medium frequency beads from distributors such as:
- Digikey
- Mouser
- Farnell
Some popular ferrite bead brands:
- Laird-Signal Integrity Products
- Fair rite
