I'm sorry! I did notice the X when it should have been Y when I received my list copy. I decided to wait to see who was alert enough to correct me. Well done and Thank you. The usual class Y value of 4,700pF presents an impedance of only 1.13 ohms at 30MHz, so it provides a very substantial unbalance to create CM from a neighbour's DM Richard Richard Marshall Laboratories, 30 Ox Lane, Harpenden, Herts., AL5 4HE, UK +44 (0)1582 460815 <http://www.design-emc.co.uk> www.design-emc.co.uk Member of the EMC Industry Association From: Richard Nute [mailto:ri...@ieee.org] Sent: 02 April 2016 18:24 To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: Re: [PSES] Commom mode current vs. differential mode current and LISN - A device with a single class X capacitor from neutral to ground.
