For some of the university work I've done, some of our reference papers are
from people modeling power lines as full-fledged transmission lines that are
many wavelengths long at 50Hz. No simple equivalent circuit model works for
them either!

OK, I did get a little over-excited there -- it should say "that are
significant fractions of a wavelength long," (e.g., more than 1/6th) such that
you can't use a simple circuit model for them.
