# Mathematical modelling of multi conductor cables

• This paper proposes a formal justification of simplified 1D models for the propagation of electromagnetic waves in thin non-homogeneous lossy conductor cables. Our approach consists in deriving these models from an asymptotic analysis of 3D Maxwell's equations. In essence, we extend and complete previous results to the multi-wires case.
