A Simulation for Parameters Extraction of Double-Layer Shielded Power Cable using FEA

This paper addresses a preliminary research on numerical simulation method of an double-layer shielded and low voltage power cable for electric vehicle powertrain using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) as software tools. Simulating this detailed method through FEA for only one transmission line cell, it was obtained the transmission lines parameters and the magnetic flux density of the cable. Then, its length is extended by using transmission lines theory and the frequency response of the cable was gathered as an evaluation of the current method implemented in SPICE. Thus, those analyses can provide a faster and better overview concerning the prediction of cable's electromagnetic (EM) shielding behavior in order to avoid Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) compliance issues in the early-stage development of vehicles.
