Near Field Considerations for Modeling Harness in Low Frequencies

Limited knowledge regarding modeling cables in extremely low frequency (ELF) regime can be found in literature. This work aims to provide insights for accurate modeling of harness routing, as required in various ESA’s studies for space science missions regarding electromagnetic cleanliness considerations. More precisely, this work considers a straight cable path as an infinitesimal dipole source when modeled in the ELF region and studying the implications on the resulting electric field in close proximity to the source.
