The high-current horn and stripline design has been evolving as NuMI reconfigures for higher beam power and to meet the needs of the future LBNF program. We evaluated the two existing high-current striplines for NuMI and NOvA at Fermilab by producing Electromagnetic simulations of the magnetic horns and the required high-current striplines. In this paper, we present the comparison of these two designs using the ANSYS Electric and ANSYS Maxwell 3D codes with special attention on the critical stress points. These results are being used to support the development of evolving horn stripline designs to handle increased electrical current and higher beam power for NuMI upgrades and for the LBNF experiment.
