On-Board Charger

Component selectionDesign tips

Characteristics

E-vehicles typically are offering two ways of recharging their batteries.

  1. High-voltage DC charging systems promise very short charging times. But these also require a very powerful power connection, which many households and businesses do not have.

  1. More widespread are 3-phase AC connections, which are often also available to private households.

Alternating current (AC) firstly has to be converted to direct current (DC) on board of an electric vehicle in order to charge the vehicle's battery. Power conversion brings up challenges in power handling and EMC.

Würth Elektronik is offering a growing range of automotive-certified products matching the following industry standards:

  • AEC-Q 200 qualified products
  • IATF 16949 certified production facilities
  • PPAP Level 1-3
  • IMDS, etc.

EV EMI suppression

EMC noise cancellation for new EV & HEV applications

The rising electrification of motor vehicles is inevitably accompanied by an increase in electromagnetic interference. The use of cable ferrites can significantly reduce these in electric and hybrid vehicles, whether interference signals on lines or electromagnetic field coupling effects. High-performance inductive materials in cable ferrites significantly improve EMC performance. Standard ferrite cable core suppression elements in axial as well in toroidal form are suitable for a wide range of applications with medium and high frequencies. For higher frequencies, these contain a magnesium component. A very wide frequency range is covered by cable ferrites with a new nanocrystalline material (NC).

Applications matrix

We offer the complete frequency range

Würth Elektronik cable ferrites are designed to work in all different frequency ranges with best attenuation.

It is essential for the following automotive applications:

  • In EMI suppression against Inverter spikes
  • Attenuate EMI noise induced by the rotor of the electric motor
  • Minimize NVH (Noise vibrations harshness) in the EMC spectrum at power train
  • Special EMI suppression for the junction box interconnections

Würth Elektronik offers four different series capable to meet all requirements for your application:

Cable ferrite for all different EMI suppression scenarios

EMI suppression for medium-high freq. range  

WE-AEFA ring core is an EMC cable ferrite suppressor in an axial as well in toroidal form, special designed for many kinds of applications. The special spectrum suppression is for medium and high frequency noise. Also available in larger designs.

EMI suppression for higher freq. range  

WE-TEFA ring core is an EMC cable ferrite suppressor with a component of Mg, the Impedance supports a higher frequency than a standard type.

EMI suppression for medium-low freq. range  

WE-TEMA ring core is an EMC cable ferrite suppressor specially designed for the medium frequency range with very high suppression.

EMI suppression for a wide-band spectrum  

WE-AENA cable ferrites with the latest NC core (nanocrystalline) material technology to provide noise suppression across a very wide frequency range. Available in many different standard sizes.
