Abstract

A line filter assembly for diverting unwanted emissions generated on a power cord between a power sub-system source and a power grid to ground is disclosed. The line filter assembly includes a PC board having first and second sides. A first pad covered with an electrically conducting material is positioned adjacent to the first side of the PC board. A first electrically conducting brace is an electrical connection with the electrically conducting material covering the first pad. The first electrically conducting brace is also in connection with an enclosure of the line filter assembly. First and second electrically conducting plates are fabricated on the second side of the PC board. The first and second electrically conducting plates are connected to first and second power lines of the power cord, respectively. A dielectric film is positioned adjacent to the first and second electrically conducting plates. A second pad covered with an electrically conducting material is positioned adjacent to the dielectric film. A second electrically conducting brace is in electrically connection with the electrically conducting material covering the second pad and in electrically connection with …
