Design For Immunity to
Electromagnetic Disturbances
"the meter shall be designed in such a way
that conducted or radiated electromagnetic
disturbances as well as electrostatic
discharge do not damage nor substantially
influence the meter”
-Section 4.5 IEC1036

What is EMC?
Source-Path-Receptor Model
EMC Stands for Electro-Magnetic Compatibility.
The interference generated by the movement of electrons will travel
through a path and result in the energy meter.

Common coupling effects:
• Frequency less than 30MHz (e.g. EFT) – Conduction
• Frequency between 30MHz to 300 MHz (e.g. RFI) – Cable Radiation
• Frequency larger than 300MHz (e.g. ESD, RFI) - Radiation

EMC Requirement on IEC1036
IEC1036 specifies that the energy meter must be able to withstand:
• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) up to 8kV
• Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) up to 10V/m near field
• Electrical Fast Transient and Surge (EFT) up to 4kV
The AD7755, core of the energy meter, offers some protection against the
above interferences. However, the energy meter circuit and PCB layout
should be designed to divert the interference away from the AD7755 to
ensure the expected lifespan of the energy meter is not affected.
The AD7755 has passed 60 years life test

EMC Certified Electronic Energy Meter
based on AD7755
a
AD7755
The fixed function DSP in the
AD7755 is highly effective
against radiated EMC
disturbances, however,
external protection is
essential to minimize the
noise coupling through
conduction.

PCB Layout
Layout considerations - Analog Performance



Separate grounds were used to isolate
the AD7755 and low level analog
signals from the rest of the design
Ground plane should be made as
large as possible to keep the common
ground impedance to a minimum
Care was taken with the routing of the
ground return current from the
capacitor based PSU.

PCB Layout
Ground Plane helps reduce the impedance of the current path in an
ESD/EFT event and reduce interference picks up through radiation.

PCB Layout: Some key areas
Large analog
ground plane (quiet)
Weak differential
signal lines are
shielded by ground fill
and are parallel and
closed to each other
Ground shielding helps separate
strong voltage signal from affecting
weak current signal

Inductance of the Shunt
Shunt inductance can create a high impedance path at high
frequency: ESD/EFT and RFI picked up through the cable will
travel to the AD7755’s signal inputs V1P and V1N. Protection
is needed!

Conclusion
• Good EMC design is essential to help ensure the lifespan
and accuracy of a solid-state energy meter.
• Large ground plane, short analog signal lines help greatly
reduce EMC problems.
• Components’ parasitic characteristics will usually dominant
in a EMC situation.
• EMC Protection does not have to come with additional cost
to a meter if the right component is used. For example, RC
used in anti-aliasing filter can be effective EMC filter.
• Mechanical meter is also susceptible to EMC issues.
