A nimmelläEMIsuodatin, which translates to "nominal EMI filter" in English, is a type of electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter. These filters are designed to suppress unwanted electromagnetic noise that can interfere with the proper functioning of electronic devices. Unlike more complex filters that might employ multiple stages or specific component arrangements for precise filtering characteristics, a nominal EMI filter typically uses a simpler, more generalized approach.

The primary goal of a nominal EMI filter is to attenuate a broad range of unwanted frequencies, often in the radio frequency (RF) range, without necessarily targeting specific interfering signals with high precision. This is achieved through the use of basic filtering components such as capacitors and inductors. These components are arranged in a configuration that allows the desired signals to pass through while impeding or reflecting the unwanted EMI.

Nominal EMI filters are often used in applications where a general level of noise reduction is sufficient and cost-effectiveness is a significant consideration. They are commonly found in power entry modules of various electronic equipment, including consumer electronics, industrial machinery, and medical devices. The "nominal" aspect suggests that the filter provides a standard or expected level of performance rather than a highly specialized or customized one. This makes them a practical choice for many everyday electronic applications where the source and characteristics of EMI might not be precisely known or require extremely fine-tuned filtering.
