Passive Components

Description

[Picture]

This component implements a magnetic coupling between two separate windings. For both windings the self inductance and resistance are specified individually. The mutual inductance and resistance are modeled as linear elements.

The electrical circuit for this component is given below:

Self inductance
A two-element vector containing the self inductance for the primary winding L1 and the secondary winding L2. The inductivity is given in henries (H).
Winding resistance
A two-element vector containing the self resistance of the primary winding R1 and the secondary winding R2, in ohms (_O_).
Mutual inductance
The mutual inductance Lm, in henries (H).
Mutual resistance
The mutual resistance Rm, in ohms (_O_).
Initial current
A two-element vector containing the initial currents on the primary side i1 and the secondary side i2, in amperes (A). The direction of positive currents is indicated by little arrows in the component symbol. The default value is [0 0].
