This contribution introduces the education of EMC at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen (UWB). The phenomenon of Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) has been taken into account almost at all faculties of electrical engineering in the Czech Republic. However there often are only partial mentions of EMC in frame of individual electrical engineering subjects and the education is focused on the one specific EMC area. At the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the UWB we have paid attention to these questions in several special subjects in the bachelor and master studying programs. In this paper the education system of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering has been presented. The main attention has been given to the low frequency interference of power electronic converters.

Power electronic converters produce not only characteristic harmonics, but also both non-characteristic harmonics and interharmonics. This paper presents physical background of both non-characteristic harmonics and interharmonics. Generation causes are explored and discussed in detail. Extensive series of simulation of different power converter topologies are provided and compared with experimental results and existing standards. This research offers missing background for standards covering low-frequency EMC.
