Due to the large amount of electrical equipment aboard modern aircraft, several EMC problems appear which can be tackled by filtering disturbances at the equipment inputs and shielding cable links (braiding, covering, over-braiding). Among the others, the segregation between interfering cables or bundles of cables becomes crucial to ensure that cou...

Modern aircraft hosts a large number of electric systems. Due to the transition to a More Electrical Aircraft, future platforms will use even more electric systems. This increases the complexity of the EWIS design from an EMC point of view. When possible, segregation between potentially interfering cables or bundles is a convenient solution to avoi...

Segregation rules are one of the three solutions to overcome EMC problems together with filtering of disturbances at the equipment inputs and shielding of cable links (braiding, covering, over-braiding, etc.). These rules enable mass reduction in the selection of cables and optimal route definition in which compatible cables (having similar levels...

Despite the high level of maturity, the development p rocess of EDA tools for electromagnetic modelling appears to be hindered by a number of contradictions. Three of them have a strong impact on the quality and usability of the products. This paper tries to expound these antinomies and to propose a way out by describing the methodological approach...
