The effective capacitance of the bus line is derived first from the capacitance per unit
length C', which is effectively the capacitance between the two wires. In the case of the
shielded wires the order of capacitance "wire against shielding" and "shielding against
wire" must be observed. The total capacitance of the bus line is thus calculated as fol-
lows:
C'
= (C' + 0.5 x C'
