I have a device that is failing conducted emissions. At this time, an input filter is the remedy. This equipment consists of motors, fridge compressors, heaters, solenoids, electrical-mechanical relays, SSR's, and PID controllers, 24VDC power supply.
The heaters are time proportioned over a 2 second cycle from the PID controllers and SSR, the compressors are time proportioned over a 6 second cycle from the PID using a E-M relay. Everything inside the equipment is powered from the same 115 Volt 20A wall outlet.
There really isn't any way to isolate my circuits inside the equipment to reduce noise is there since they are all powered from the same circuit. For example, I could try to isolate all my heater wiring and heater control wiring from all the other conductors, but the noise from the heaters circuits will still be put out on to the supply right?
How about separating input power to electronic components (like my 24VDC power supply, PID controllers controllers, SSR's)? Will this have any benefit for me? I've heard the phrase "Separate inputs from outputs" but does this mean separate the control circuit from the power circuits via a shielded transformer?
Would the conducted emissions be primarily from the power supplies in my components (like the PID controller), or do the cycling of the SSR's have a mojor contribution?
