Description

[Picture]

This component provides an ideal resistor between its two electrical terminals. See section "Configuring PLECS" in chapter "Using PLECS" for information on how to change the graphical representation of resistors.


Note  Like all other parameters of PLECS components, the resistance cannot be changed during the simulation.

Parameters and Dialog Box

[Picture]

Width
The width of the electrical ports resp. the number of ideal resistors represented by the component.
Resistance
The resistance in ohms (_O_). All positive and negative values are accepted, including 0 and inf (1). The default is 1.

If the parameter is a scalar, all internal resistors have the same resistance. To specify individually the resistances in a vectorized component use a vector [R1 R2 :::Rn] . The length n of the vector must correspond to the width of the component.
