Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
electromagnetic interference filter
a filter used to reduce or eliminate the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by the harmonic current injected back onto the input power bus by switching circuits. The harmonic current is caused by the switch action that generates switch frequency ripple, voltage and current spikes, and high-frequency ringing. Generally called an EMI filter.
