Modeling of the propagation along low voltage power networks for IEMI studies

We present in this paper experimental and simulation results on the propagation of IEMI disturbances along a commercial power network mockup. Two different numerical tools were used in this study: CST Cable Studio and the CRIPTE code. The presented results show that an accurate modeling of the propagation along real cabling scenarios requires a very high degree of knowledge of the simulated topology. Furthermore, it is shown that uncertainties in the input geometrical and electrical parameters may significantly impact the accuracy of simulated results.
