1. EMC of static converters

Power electronics use power semiconductors in switch mode. This operation gives the converter a very high level of efficiency; however, it also gives rise to a great deal of electromagnetic interference, mainly due to the rapid switching of the semiconductors. The disturbances propagate to the converter's power source and to the load it feeds; a smaller proportion of this energy is radiated. In order to better situate the study of EMC in power electronics, this article reviews the different modes and types of propagation, as well as the methods used to measure disturbances [1] .
