In this contribution, similarities and differences between electrical and thermal effects on cables are investigated. In the electrical transmission line theory, a wide variety of methods is known to describe the voltage and current along cables. The potential for the adaption of some of those methods to thermal problems is discussed. An example is given.

Test setups required for different immunity test methods based on ISO 11452-2 (ALSE) and ISO 11452-4 (BCI) are similar. However, lack of knowledge regarding the impedance of the tested component, makes it impossible to find the equivalent current to be injected by the BCI probe and a good match cannot be achieved. In this paper, three approaches are proposed to estimate the termination impedance indirectly by using different current probe.

One of the issues in Electric Vehicle (EV) is to control the electromagnetic noise, so that both High Voltage (HV) power drive system and Low Voltage (LV) systems (like communication-, infotainment-, safety systems, etc.) coexist in harmony and perform their respective functions efficiently. In this article, techniques to analyse HV cables and how to design better shielding is discussed, which may help to design better layouts for coexistence of HV and LV in EV. Aim is to assist system designers

Radiated electromagnetic fields from a PCB can be estimated when the source current distribution is known. From a measured near-field, the PCB source current can be found. Solving the given inverse problem with a system of linear equations and complex near-field data it can be very sensitive to noise. Regularization methods and an adjusted preconditioning can increase the accuracy. In this publication, an improved radiation model creation approach based on complex near-field data is presented.

Continuously increasing requirements for onboard system performances lead to new topologies for the energy distribution in vehicles. One promising concept is the usage of a dual-battery system instead of the conventional lead-acid battery. The conventional performance estimation method for standalone lead-acid batteries can no longer be applied to this system. Therefore, a new algorithm for the voltage drop calculation of the dual-battery system is proposed.
