Excessive harmonics in the power supply of edge boxes often manifest as excessive 3rd and 5th odd harmonic currents. Passive filter circuits are low-cost and highly reliable. It is recommended to add two-stage filters after the rectifier bridge. The first stage uses a series differential mode inductor, PMS6045R6R8M0T, named PMS T core. It is a high-current inductor, 6045, 6.0×4.5mm, 6R8, with an inductance of 6.8μH, M tolerance 0, and special code T packaging. The second stage uses a parallel high-frequency CBB capacitor with a capacitance of 0.68μF to form an LC resonant filter tuned to around 150Hz to broaden and suppress the 3rd harmonic. At the same time, a common mode inductor, CMZ3225A-201T, is connected in series at the AC input. It is named CM common mode Z, with an impedance of 3225, 3.2×2.5mm, 201T, and an impedance of 200Ω. A 100MHz passive filter circuit can suppress common-mode harmonics and improve conducted emissions. The third harmonic of a 150W edge box is reduced from 2.5A to 0.8A, which is far below the GB17625.1 limit of 2.1A. The cost increase is less than 5 yuan and no modification to the control circuit is required.
