Abstract

This paper presents a fast, reliable and portable method for measuring electromagnetic disturbances in LV circuits (overcurrent circuit breakers). The experiment was carried out under conditions reflecting the real measurement environment. The method was verified and confirmed by a series of measurements with passive components reducing the disturbance. The results of the measurements made it possible to obtain suitable EMI reduction solutions, which can be used to protect commutators or end consumers. The results obtained make it possible to apply the method to measurements of multichannel circuit breakers, in which measuring the turn-on time of individual channels is important for the correct operation of the devices.
