1 Scope
This document was prepared to give users general advices on filtering solutions adopted in
shielded enclosures. It is mainly a collection of hints derived from practical experience.
This document is coordinated with EN 50147-1 and EN 50417-2.
The document covers the frequency range DC to 40 GHz. The range above 40 GHz and up to
400 GHz is under consideration.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition
of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

interference filters and suppression components
3 Definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in CISPR 17:1981 apply.
4 General recommendations on filters
To prevent interference or over-voltages from being fed into, or out of the shielded enclosure
via lines, all lines passing through the shielding must be filtered. In many cases it is not only
necessary to protect equipment from broadband interfering signals, but also to limit pulsed
type interference (effects of lighting and any man made pulse type phenomena e.g. industrial
process). The filter shall not degrade the shielding attenuation of the shielded enclosure.
Filters that meet the requirements of the referenced specification below should not be
retested after installation because the testing of filters is done in 50 Ω system and shielding is
a measure of transmission loss performed with antennas. If cables that penetrate a shielded
enclosure cannot be filtered, they shall have adequate shielding effectiveness and termination
on both sides so as to avoid degradation of the shielding effectiveness of the whole
installation.
Filters are required at each point where an unshielded wire or cable passes through the
shielding material of a shielded enclosure. This is to prevent uncontrolled transfer of
electromagnetic energy into, or out of,
