Experimental impact analysis of the refrigerator cable design on disturbance power test

Abstract

The ever-increasing variety of electronic products brings with it many tests and controls. Especially for a product such as a refrigerator, which has an important place in the lives of users and works non-stop for almost its entire life, all compatibility tests that may affect the end-user must be carried out. Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests are the most critical of these tests. In this study, the effect of the disturbance power test, one of the EMC tests, on the changing properties of the product was investigated. The effect of three different cable structures used in the refrigerator on the disturbance power test was investigated. These tests are carried out to cover 10 different frequencies in three products using different cable structures. Tables containing the oscilloscope results of these tests and the margin values corresponding to the frequencies are included in the document. In addition, visuals containing the differences between each cable structure and cable have been added. The results and analyzes of these tests are included in the report.
