This paper describes a method for modeling the leakage current from a DC/DC converter to a power line and selecting an EMI filter that suppresses the effect on power line communications. The relationship between the leakage current flowing in the power line and the error rate of power line communication is measured, and the limit value of the leakage current that does not affect power line communication is determined. Since the leakage current flowing in the power line is an attenuated waveform, it is modeled in RLC series circuits, and an equivalent circuit is created. EMI filter is inserted in the simulation, and filter is designed to keep the leakage current within the limit value. The results were compared with experimental results to confirm the reliability of this method.
