1. A method of controlling a powertrain to protect a high voltage cable, comprising:
determining, by one or more processors in a vehicle, a temperature characteristic for a busbar;
determining, by the one or more processors, a temperature characteristic adjacent to a component;
determining, by the one or more processors, a current through the high voltage cable;
reducing, by the one or more processors, an operating characteristic of the powertrain to form a reduced operating characteristic based on the temperature characteristic for the busbar, the temperature characteristic adjacent to the component, and the current; and
controlling, by the one or more processors, the powertrain using the reduced operating characteristic.
