Edge computing boxes are tested for conducted noise at their power ports according to EN55032 Class A or Class B. The limits are: frequency 0.15-0.5MHz; Class A quasi-peak value 79dBμV, average value 66dBμV; Class B quasi-peak value 66dBμV, average value 56dBμV. Most edge boxes in industrial environments meet Class A standards. If the test results exceed these limits, a common-mode ferrite core from Etymotic CMZ7060A-701T can be added. Its name is CM common-mode Z, impedance 7060, size 7.0×6.0mm. The A automotive-grade 701T has an impedance of 700Ω. Simultaneously, parallel X capacitors and series differential-mode inductors are connected to the input ports at 100MHz. Edge boxes often use SMD2920-300-16V self-resetting fuses, named SMD2920, package 300, holding current 3.0A, 16V withstand voltage, which can also function as a differential-mode inductor to suppress conducted noise. Experience shows that these filtering devices can reduce 0.5MHz spikes by 12-18dB, easily passing the Class A limits.
