These measurements, compared to usually estimated values
of automotive low voltage cables (LS ≈ 1 μH/m, CG ≈
100 pF/m [9, p. 261]), show around 10–20 times smaller series
inductances and 3–10 times higher ground capacitance values.
Additionally, the transmission line character of HV cables
is dominant above ∼10 MHz (for typical harness lengths).
At higher frequencies the cable’s termination defines its input
impedance as stated by transmission line theory. Therefore,
termination of HV cables becomes important and has to be
taken into account, because it determines the input impedance
of a HV network in combination with the cable’s characteristic
impedance.
