Hello Group, I am looking for a device that will differentiate the dominant component (either common-mode or differential-mode current) in the total conducted noise emission current of a product measuring through its' power cord using a LISN. This device can be called "common/differential mode current separator". In conducted noise emission measurement, both common-mode and differential mode noise current are measured by LISN and the LISN can't tell which mode is the dominant current. I came across a paper by Clayton Paul and Keith Hardin which explain the usefulness of a separator like this that would identified the dominant current from the total current. Hence, the correct capacitor value(either X-caps or Y-caps) can be changed accordingly so to reduce the overall conducted noise. The book by Clayton Paul "Introduction to Eletromagnetic Compatibility" has also mention about this device. I have contacted a few persons trying to look for the person who have actually built this separator himself and I am also looking for any vendor who have this product for sale. So far, my effort has yield no results. Can anybody point me to the right person so that i can try to built this separator myself. Any other suggestion and comments are greatly appreciated.
