“…According to Section 2 and the electromagnetic induction coupling theory [27], for any single interference line current ( in this study), the effective value of the LEF generated in the signal cable core is where , is the mutual impedance between the ‐th interference line loop and the signal cable loop; is the angular frequency of the power frequency current; is the mutual inductance coefficient between the ‐th interference line loop and the signal cable loop; is the parallel length between the ‐th interference line and the signal cable; is the effective value of the traction return‐current in the ‐th interference line; , is the comprehensive shielding coefficient of the cable, including the effective shielding coefficients of the metal sheath, that is, , and the co‐trough double cable (or multi‐cable), that is, , and the shielding coefficient of other adjacent metal conductors. Noticeably, in this study, we introduce mutual impedance, inductance etc., all referring to parameters per unit length.…”
